I have found most interesting the teamwork between actual society and education.
It would be great to set up a activity like " Teen Science Cafe".

# data[].attributes.body
great idea !! relaxing enviroment real interested people!!

# data[].attributes.body
Similar activities are carried out at my school. We receive visits from parents who tell us about their work (scientists, university professors, firefighters, etc.). Many times, there are activities organized by the City Council, the University or a Foundation, workshops, seminars, etc. Other times, we conduct videoconferences with scientists or representatives of space agencies, such as Emmet Fletcher, from ESA (Emmet interview transcription https://2016space.wordpress.com/microentreviews/emmet-fletcher/), or this interview with Javier Cacho, from INTA (https://youtu.be/yy6WJ_vdiw4).
In other occasions, we make an excursion invited by scientists and universities of our city or others.

The professionals had taken lots of stuff with them so it was not just talking but also showing and trying out. It was interesting. In Estonia during the Researchers' Night in September lots of school organise science events. Many school also have science weeks and career days where similar events take place.

# data[].attributes.body
I found joyful the face of the student during the event. Their eyes seem to shine. For this reason the most interesting point were the comments of the student, in order to show how the Teen Science Cafè is full of benefits for who is learning, mostly for the motivation they get. My school have never set up something like this, but my colleagues usually invite some parents to explain their job at school, and it is always a lovely experience for students.

# data[].attributes.body
Teen Science Café is a great opportunity to create a meeting point between students and professionals, exchange ideas and projects. This experience should be implemented at each school and to involve parents. I know some similar experiences in Spain.

# data[].attributes.body
The Teen Science Café experience is a great event to create a meetting point between students and professionals. Making a relaxed atmosphere, which invites dialogue and the exchange of ideas and projects.
I know an event similar to this one, organized by the University of Burgos and San Miguel company, where each month, is organized the meeting with a famous scientist, who expose him work, accompanied by an aperitif.
But this event is only for adults.
I believe those events are so interesting and nice, and they should be adapted for children and young people.

# data[].attributes.body
I really want to organize one Science Cafe experience. Maybe I could do it in another Experimenting and enjoying day. It's really good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a great opportunity to come into contact with STEM professional and academic worlds and students are highly motivated through the rewards. I experienced literary Café, not yet science Café, but I want to be engaged with my new knowledges to organize some STEM Cafés next year.

# data[].attributes.body
It is really nice idea.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion Teen Science Cafe is a students is open to sciences. Schools involved a expert and students can say a questions to real person.I would like planning Teen Science cafe in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
We don´t have any experiences like this. I find it really interesting but too difficult to start with

# data[].attributes.body
I think this initiative provides pupils, practice of science-related process skills and increased opportunity to develop and practice critical thinking, communication skills, and self-evaluation. The

Teen Science Café

provide opportunities to explore a wider range of STEM themes, so improving the pupils’ enthusiasm and interest for science.
Participants have the opportunity to discuss skills and competencies to be acquired by other learners in such a peer to peer learning process and from professionals.

# data[].attributes.body
The Teen Science Café is a great opportunity for students to interface with experts in an informal environment, which allows through dialogue, to acquire and develop knowledge about STEM careers, but also to grasp the human characteristics of specialists.

I like to mention similar experiences that occur also in Sardinia, with scientists from different disciplines, including many young people, thanks to the Sardegna Ricerche organization. Knowing the characteristics and the aims of the teen science cafe, inspired me to organize such events not only in schools but also in other contexts, during summer holidays, for example, in a summer bootcamp.

# data[].attributes.body
Teen Science Café is a good idea that should be implemented at every school.
I don't know any similar experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Really interesting experience for teenagers specially for boosting the conversation among students and what caught my attention because I think ir is a very good idea is to involve parents into the teen science caffe activities.

Students  can realize of the opportunites they are going to have in life studing STEM careers with the information shared on the café.

# data[].attributes.body
Teen Science Cafè is a good idea. Discussion is very interesting. I know similar experiences in some institutes of research but not in the schools. I think a similar activity in the school is useful.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a nice idea to inspire young brains to discuss their scientific ideas with their friends. I infer from the video that we can invite professionals to guide our students, introducing their occupations. Yes I am inspired much and will talk this idea with school management. I want to congratulate Maltaese officials for this amazing job.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a very interesting initiative, and I will try to take her I finish in my classroom in the latter month of class. I hope that the experience is positive.

# data[].attributes.body
YES, I like very much this initiative. It would be wonderfull to have such an opportunity in Italy, but I don't know about esperiences like in Malta. I have found most interesting the Science Café Format, the informal settings is the best way to involve engaging with students, and the lively conversation with a scientist or a STEM professional about a specific topic. However, in order to set up such an event in italian schools, the limit I guess is the budjet. Italian statal schools have no money for such events.

# data[].attributes.body
I find t very interestin

# data[].attributes.body
A very good experience for this students. I wish we could organize a similar event in my school, too. In this way the students can learn about different carreers in stem.

# data[].attributes.body
The opportunity for the students to se real worker in their particular field of expertise.

# data[].attributes.body
I find most interesting the opportunity for the students seeing real workers of a particular field.

# data[].attributes.body
I think The Teen Science Café is a great experience and idea. Students have the opportunity to meet different professionals in an informal context. Students are free to ask any questions they are interested in. I do not know of any similar experience in my area. However, I think is a great idea and I will try to implement it in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view the better characteristic of this sort of event is the facto of bring science to a natural conversation. The pupils can see the scientific as normal persons who do their job every day using STEM skills, and they enjoy with it.

I know that similar experiences have been implemented in some Spanish towns, but I couldn’t assist yet

I can imagine some informal talk for younger pupils, during the breaks.

# data[].attributes.body
t seems to be a really wonderful experience. I wish my students could partipate in such interesting event.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it very interesting for students not only because they can connect scientific subjects with the real world, but also because, meeting STEM experts in an informal way, they could be more interested in scientific subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I find that  the Teen Science Café is a very good idea.When students talk with scientist,engineer , etc. in such informal way , they can see that scientist  is just a men like all others.This is interactive workshop where students can ask the question and try some interesting things that are part of  STEM  job.This is the opportunity for prime school  students to learn how STEM careers works in real life.This is good way to demystification some stem jobs, too.I would like to take part in organisation of  Teen Science Cafe in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that children can know how the real professions are, described by people who exercise them because, sometimes, society shows a distorted image of the tasks involved in some of them.
In addition, it is great that students deal with scientists, engineers, architects ... and feel that they are normal people with which they themselves can identify perfectly.
It is also appreciated that the professionals who talk with them, feel passion for their work, this is essential to be able to transmit enthusiasm and interest to the students.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know anything similar like this one.
In my opinion, the most interesting thing about this event, is the "no traditionl lesson": students meet specialists moving in the school and chatting in circle.

# data[].attributes.body
It is fantastic, really it is a great job. Congratulations to the Science Center in Malta.
I don't know of such an experience in my country, though there are some olympiads about different subjets which may look a bit like this, but no so well done.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the teen Science Café a great idea. Unfortunally there is no such practice in my school but I think it would be interesting to introduce it among our colleagues and students. I'm sure that our pupils could improve and implement their interests in STEM careers.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this idea fantastic. I really enjoyed implementing something similar without a doubt.

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing is the informal way it is carried out in.
I know cafe- experiences regarding to languages learning, but not in other fields.
I think it is a quite interesting experience.

# data[].attributes.body
It looks great. I would like to conduct something like that in my school and I hope I  will really soon.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no such practice in our school. It would be amazing.
I know such applications "feskok project"

Actually it seems very interesting, and it is true that this video inspired me. This is the first time I see this experience.

# data[].attributes.body
The informal setting and warm atmosphere have reminded me of the fact that STEM events are not far away from us but they are in the daily routines and what we are supposed to do is just organize an event like this at our schools.

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing, in these informal setting, probably is to discover that Stem expert are 'normal' people with a big passion for a special job. I know that there are similar experience in some university.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems to be a really wonderful experience. I wish my students could partipate in such interesting event.

# data[].attributes.body
The Teen Science Café experience is a most inspiring activity. I like the informality of the meetings, where professionals can inform directly the students about the daily routine of their work and where students can communicate directly with them, ask questions and get information in a simple way. I will think about how to implement something similar in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting .. some Italian universities in some periods open to schools to organize similar events

# data[].attributes.body
This experience s very interesting for all. It contains what I'd like to do.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion this a fabulous idea and a good activity. Of course I like doing similar activities in my school. I’m investigating to find professionals to come at my school and talks with the pupils and do activities with them.

# data[].attributes.body
The teen Science Café It is an original idea to come out of the every day routines and can enhance the motivation and curiosity of the students in STEM careers.
There is a similar experience in some Pubs in some cities of Asturias in Spain, that make people get closer to the science world by doing experiments and Scientistics demostrations in some Bars around the city .This event is called"Pint of Science"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description

I like the way the professionals interact with students. One similar thing that happened in my school was when students prepared a kind of cafe themselves. But it was more a series of presentations at some stands. The materials shown inspired me to ask professionals to bring some attractive things connected with their job.

# data[].attributes.body
Although it seems like career talks which happen in one place at the same time, interaction available atmosphere of it make science cafe as an interesting idea to try in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very interesting idea. I would like to try something similar in my school

# data[].attributes.body
I think this initiative very interesting: the informal setting of the science cafés facilitate interaction and engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the idea quite interesting as students can acess to a lot of information without moving from the school; it is easy for them to attend as a part normal school day and it could be funny and attrac them to do something different that day. There is nothing similar in my school, but it would be a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very interesting idea. I like and I would like to try something similar in my school

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting thing in this experience is that students can see with their eyes what are STEM careers. Expecially, they can meet special guests and realize that a scientist is a "normal" person. I don't know about any similar experience, but I would like to organize a similar activity in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a good way to give a real contact to Science jobs to students. We could involve parents as well and show videos of a real workday of a scientist in different fields. I am sure students would feel curious about interesting aspects.

# data[].attributes.body
As far as I'm concerned, I found the most interesting idea that students are able to find a number of professional experts in different STEM fields, allowing them to see the reality of science in everyday life as well as its great utility.

In my case, I know a similar experience sharing knowledge from different fields of science when I have visited with my students a factory related to science or the university of science in my city, Valencia.

I hope that in the near future they will establish and look for various activities related to Steem's career in my country.

I finally hope that the different schools in my country offer more opportunities on the different scientific fields because it’s an awesome opportunity for everyone not only for our students but also for the teachers.

We have Google Campus in Madrid, which is an space of coworking, but it is also a big café where people meet in an informal atmosphere to change experiences.
Conferences, talks and seminaries are organized every week, and sometimes they organice some events with youngster.
This informal atmosphere is the main advantage, because people feel free to ask, to talk, and they are not just listening to.

We had an experience in our copnservatory, wich was let the pupil meet in a big classroom to play concerts, or concerts-in-progress, only the part they can manage with, so the atmosphere is relaxed and they arent nervous to play.
In the same way, a place to show things people do about STEM subjets could be done in high - schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I found interesting the fact that they involved parents and other STEM professionals to talk to students. In my school we often invite scientists to talk about various topics while developing related topics. We also make study visits to see the professionals on their own place.

# data[].attributes.body
For me it is great that state helps to organize such event, because in Croatia you don't have such help. My school is already doing something similar to this only we invite our former student because our town is small and distant from main capitol.

# data[].attributes.body
This series of free, fun and out of school events is important because the teens can socialize over food and refreshments and they could have the opportunity to talk with local scientist and engineers about cutting edge ideas in science and technology , all in a relaxed and informal setting

# data[].attributes.body
In Italy there are some similar events (for teachers at least), called ?Caffè digitali': they are really cool, because the informal environment gives you more chance to interact and network with the other participants.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a fantastic experience for the students. They keep in touch with real professionals who can explain and resolve all their doubts. The students discover professions that they didn't know.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a very good experience for pupils. They have the opportunity to be in contact and learn, in a relaxed atmosphere, with professionals from different science fields. This is very enriching for students while helping them to choose the subject with which they feel better.

Lora Italy I think this experience is great for many reasons  first of all : the informal enviroment , a cafè, where  students can meet and speak with person working in stem careers, they can make questions about their  future choice , they can see that science really helps human race and maybe the next discover could be in one their mind.I’d like to arrange somethig similar in my school it could be fantastic.

Palermo,Italy
I think that the teen science café is a great opportunity for students because they can meet ,talk and ask all they want to know about the stem carrer to the  professional scientists.I found very interesting the informal aspect of the event and the possibility  for students to know the paths to make a STEM career from the voice of  those who have already done these paths and can easily illustrate the difficulties encountered, experiences made, gratifications, etc.I don't know  any similar experiences surely there will also be in Italy but I am not aware of it.but it's a great challenge for me because my students are six years old.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the most interesting of this experience is that students can encounter a number of professional experts in different STEM fields in an informal setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting of this experience is that students can visual their future and talk with scientists in unformal place.

# data[].attributes.body
I am all spiced up.   In actual fact, I have immediately setup a Facebook page - Teen Science Cafe Malaysia.     Wonderful Ideas.   Love it.

# data[].attributes.body
It is fantastic. I have to organize something similar with my collegues and many professionals, next year. During this year  a couple of professionals visitors are coming, but the event has to be better idealized. Infact they can bring also objects, share experiments, like in the video.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a free, fun way for students to explore the big advances in science, tecnology, engineering and math, affecting their lives. Teens and STEM ex+erts engage in lively conversations and activities to explore a topic deeply. This group are not just for the science geeks or a club, but is for all curious teens.

I never reed about the similar experiences ou similar, but inspered me, and I want to do that in the future, but with something different. I want organize a core group of Teen Leaders, with the committed mentorship of an adult, plan and run the café themselves. They make welcome as diverseof a teen crowd as possible—in ethnicity, culture, gender, and motivations for learning about science.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this idea because in an informal enviroment they take contact with STEM professions and it helps them to choose the most suitable. They see Science in front of them.
I would like to organize something similar because at the moment we only do workshops about one topic or talks.

# data[].attributes.body
I founded this experience really very interesting: I think that is more interesting than the simple meeting with a scientist, probably for friendly method. Next year I could arrange something like that in my school

# data[].attributes.body
The absolute naturalness between students and experts is what struck me most of the video. There are no barriers but sharing.
I hope in the next school year to be able to organize something like this with my other colleagues.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most important is the informal contest. the direct contact between scientists and pupils. This is very motivated for our students.

# data[].attributes.body
I found most interesting is that all professionals of different scientific areas are at the same time. In my secondary school, only one professional normally teachs conference. Yes, I have, it can be really interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I have written about something similar in previous activities.
In these days, are taken place in several cities in Spain the events "Pint of Science", which are a sort of science cafés.
I have visited one of them just today, with my students, and we really have enjoyed it.
https://pintofscience.es/
For me is a fabolous initiative to bring science closer to the general public and encourage students to study and guide their accademic and professional paths to Stem Careers and develope their STEM skills.

# data[].attributes.body
It's an excellent idea the teen science cafe. In Spain we do somethimg similar but with children in school. Parents go there and explain to the class what's his/her job about .
But it's a fact that at high school is necessary to know or at least start to learn the different paths an student can follow to be a professional in the future.
I love this initiative, and I would like to set it up at my school.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though I hadn't heard of any Science Café experience before, I think it can be a really positive experience for students, as they get the chance of meeting professionals on different scientific áreas beyond the sanitary field. I think it would be great to organise a similar activity in my school!

# data[].attributes.body
Whithout any doubt, Science cafe offers an incredible opportunity to involve scientist and students in a real enviroment.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know anything like that Science Café in Malta. I agree with the idea that is a golden oppostunity for divulgate and to concern teenagesr about the social roleplay, job opportunities and employment for them. I think is gonna be a stantard for future events in Europe.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know any similar experiences but I know a website where students can meet and chat with scientist about their job: somoscientificos.es
The most interesting thing from this kind of events are the face to face relationship amond professionals and students

# data[].attributes.body
I think that The Teen science café is really interested, mainly because the activity is hold out in an informal setting of the science where pupils will feel free and facilitate engagement. In my school we try to do science café to encourage students about STEM careers.

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting from this kind of events is the informal context, the direct contact between scientists and students, and the possibility to participation of parents. Furthermore, bring near to students the real word through the specialists is amazing and very positive to understand the great spectrum of STEM careers. Last week it took place a similar experience in Castellón called “Pint of Science». Perhaps in the near future we'll prepare “water of Science” in our school from the same idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of the Teen Science Café. I think is a great opportunity for the students to meet various STEM professionals and in an informal manner, very close to them and in small groups. I am not sure if in my city there are similar things, and it would be a shame because there are a lot of interesting people working in STEM related fields here. I know about some Science Café enviroments that are outside schools and normally at late hours, so I don't think a lot of teenagers are there. It definitely will be worth to give them a try.

# data[].attributes.body
I know a similiar experience in my town. There is a school that organizes a fair of universities so the students of the last course of high school can discover some careers from different universities.
I think the most interesting thing is that students can talk with some professionals that otherwise they couldn't because they don't have the opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting feature of the Teen Science Cafè is letting students know the variety of professions that exists and the concrete fields of work in every job. I do not know of anything similar near my school and I'd like to try something like that in my school, maybe before the time when students have to choose the following school.

ITALY
SOMEWHERE, IN THE PRIMARY ITALIAN SCHOOL, IT IS NOT EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE. I SPEAR THAT IN A FUTURE NEARS TIME CAN BE REALIZED AS ANY SIMILAR. It would be fairly constructive for future generations.

# data[].attributes.body
This initiative provides a showcase to STEM careers and motivates students towards such paths. I think that such science cafes is a valuable initiative to be used by other schools in collaboration with the science department within the university of Malta. Teachers should be helped to organise such activities where parents will be asked onboard as they will influence and guide their children to choose better STEM careers that are not so commonly chosen. It is a low-cost effective way to promote new STEM careers to our students

# data[].attributes.body
I like that it is low cost and easy to organise. I like that it is not reading from a ppt and is informal. It makes the Professional just talk in an interesting manner about their role. You can have a real mix of all different STEM Careers.

# data[].attributes.body
This initiative is very interesting because it seems to be very motivating for the students. They are involved in a kind of relaxed atmosphere and it is great that all the educative community participates, it is nice how parents and children share time together.

# data[].attributes.body
This initiative is very popular here in Malta. Students are more empowered and feel more motivated to learn more about various careers by meeting STEM professionals in a very informal and creative way.
