Meet CSO Mariana

My name is Mariana and I intend to create a Teen Science Cafe at my school. It will meet bi-weekly and I will invite guest speakers and supply hands-on explorations for participating students. I am dedicated to helping my school learn more about science and technology in creative ways. My desire is to make science a fun adventure for students of all ages. Hopefully, that will encourage them to make a difference in the world
