- Café Scientifique is a popular program that
brings teens from all walks of life together
to explore, discuss, and debate the latest ideas
in science and technology. Stimulating conversations
with experts working on the cutting-edge of
scientific research take place in a social setting.
It is a place where all teens are welcome and
ideas are shared. For each Café, follow-up events
are scheduled to give participants a chance
to explore aspects of the Café topic in greater
depth.

We are producing a lot of CO2 from burning fossil fuels to light our houses, power our economy, and move us around. By changing the concentration of this greenhouse in our atmosphere, we are raising atmospheric CO2— with potentially dire consequences for climate. We urgently need to figure out what to do about CO2 emissions. This Café will explore some exciting frontiers of research on technologies for getting rid of excess CO2. Can we head off environmental catastrophe with such technology? Will major lifestyle changes also be necessary? Join us for a very stimulating Café!
