Themed Cafes

Certain cafe topics are especially popular.

To satisfy people’s curiosity, NOVA will begin providing resources to run “themed” science cafés—cafés that focus on high-interest topics.

Use themes to identify stimulating science café topics and to get all the related NOVA resources you need to run an engaging café.

Cosmic Cafes

Inspired by NOVA's The Fabric of the Cosmos Series, these resources will help you run your Cosmic Café—a science café focused on cosmic themes: how the universe works and on what physics, quantum mechanics, astronomy, and cosmology tell us about reality and…ourselves.

Finding Life Beyond Earth: Science Cafes

The following resources will help you run your Finding Life Beyond Earth Café—a science café focused on answering the question "Are we alone in the universe?"

These resources are based on NOVA's program Finding Life Beyond Earth, 

"Making Stuff" Cafes

Based on NOVA's "Making Stuff" series these themed resources will 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.
