Here at the Ontario Science Centre, we piloted a new teen-focused program called SciFri about 2 years ago.  I'm happy to say that it continues to run quite effectively and is now an important part of our science engagement offerings to our visitors.  The program runs 4-5 times a year on a Friday night after we close.  It is for youth ages 14-19.  There was an article in a past ASTC Dimensions newsletter on the program that outlined how we pulled the program together and some of the challenges we faced.  Since it's pilot phase, we now have introduced a Youth Advisory Council which works with our programmers to come up with content, delivery ideas, topics, etc. to ensure we are programming effectively for this very unique audience.

I'm happy to help out by sharing more information if you are interested.  Just send me an email and I can put you in touch with a few others who have been working with me on this program.  

Best regards,
Karen
