AbstractA Youth-Directed Cafe Scientifique targets culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse youth ages 11-18 with a web-based program designed to engage students in active discourse on current STEM topics. Building on the adult program of the same name, this youth-centered project also provides opportunities for individual and group activities. Project partners include Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Bradbury Science Museum, Sandia National Laboratory, Los Alamos Women in Science, and the University of New Mexico, which will serve as a source of scientists to act as speakers and mentors. Northern New Mexico Collefe, Santa Fe Community College, University of New Mexico, and theNew Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, as well as area high schools will host discussions and focus group meetings. Recruitment of youth participants will be carried out by New Mexico MESA as well as four local high schools. Project deliverables include a robust model for engaging youth in an active online community and Youth Leadership Teams (YLT). YLT''''s select topics, recruit members, and facilitate Cafe discussions and blogs. Cafe meetings enable youth to explore a topic of their choice in an online session led by a youth host in conjunction with a guest speaker. The follow-up sessions encourage more in-depth exlopration of the topic via interviews, articles, community meetings, and museum exhibits created in collaboration with the Bradbury Museum. The Cafe website will highlight youth produced podcasts, essays on science topics, and a blog. Strategic impact resulting from this project includes the development of a creattive model that effectively engages youth in STEM discourse while meeting the cultural and intellectual needs. It is anticapated that this project will serve over 5,700 youth in three years.

AbstractA Youth-Directed Cafe Scientifique针对11-18岁的文化，种族和经济多样化的青少年，其基于网络的计划旨在让学生积极参与当前STEM主题的讨论。 这个以青年为中心的项目以同名的成人项目为基础，还为个人和团体活动提供机会。 项目合作伙伴包括洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室、布拉德伯里科学博物馆、桑迪亚国家实验室、洛斯阿拉莫斯科学界妇女和新墨西哥州大学，它们将作为科学家的来源，担任演讲者和导师。 北方新墨西哥州科莱费、圣达菲社区学院、新墨西哥州大学和新墨西哥州自然历史和科学博物馆以及地区高中将举办讨论和焦点小组会议。 青年参与者的招募将由新墨西哥州梅萨以及当地四所高中进行。 项目交付成果包括一个让青年参与活跃的在线社区和青年领导团队的强大模式。 YLT的选择主题，招募成员，并促进咖啡馆讨论和博客。 咖啡馆会议使青年能够在由青年主持人与特邀演讲者共同主持的在线会议上探讨他们选择的主题。 后续会议鼓励通过采访，文章，社区会议和与布拉德伯里博物馆合作创建的博物馆展览更深入地探讨这一主题。 咖啡馆网站将突出青年制作的播客，关于科学主题的文章和博客。 该项目产生的战略影响包括开发一种创造性模式，有效地使青年参与STEM话语，同时满足文化和智力需求。 预计该项目将在三年内为5 700多名青年提供服务。
