The STFK Science Café is a member of the sciencecafes.org network and follows the NOVA scienceNOW format for adults and mature young people. We watch a short clip of a NOVA or NOVA scienceNOW program to introduce the discussion topic for the evening. Then we open the floor for Q&A and discussion of the topic with a distinguished guest who is an expert in the field.

At the same time, any children in attendance meet in a nearby separate area for Kid's Café. An age-appropriate science expert, such as a volunteer school teacher, makes a presentation about the same science topic that the adults discuss. The kids enjoy hands-on activities that are related to the subject and help make learning science fun!

During these meetings, discussion will be restricted to topics of science only. Religious viewpoints shall not be presented. Within the context of the Science Café, Spirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville does not advocate religion.
