Taking Flight Nights

At Tracy Aviary, your curiosity can take flight! Taking Flight Nights, Salt Lake City's premier teen science café, is a monthly interactive event in which professionals in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) interact with the public in a casual setting, sharing their work through engaging hands-on activities and discussions. Teen STEAM Cafés empower high school students to choose topics they want to learn about, reach out to local STEAM professionals, and plan their very own events.
