Science is for Everyone

In 2008, the Dean of Science kick-started the Science Café—an outreach initiative aimed at connecting Carleton’s researchers to the greater Ottawa community through science education. More than ten years later, the Café is still a hit. Twice a month during Carleton’s fall and winter terms, the Faculty of Science hosts volunteer professors and graduate students to present their innovative research to the public in an inclusive and informal setting.
