Making Stuff Science Cafes

Welcome to the “Making Stuff” Café online toolkit. To the left are resources to help you run a science café focused on materials science themes: what stuff is made of, how it works, and what we can do with it.

“Making Stuff” Cafés are inspired by NOVA's four-part series, “Making Stuff,” which explores the material world and presents dramatic stories about how the field of materials science has changed history and is shaping the future. Scientists are generating new materials that function differently and are stronger, smaller, smarter, and cleaner than ever. Expected to revolutionize medicine and technology, these innovations are likely to result in an unprecedented trove of nifty new stuff that will transform the way we live, work, and play.
