For this week, we congregated to discuss the planning of the citizen science cafe.
Some of the issues that arose were where exactly it would be held. We were conflicted between locations such as the Honors Lounge or renting a space. We decided that we would use the classrooms in the Macaulay Honors building. It would be cost effective and we would be able to draw in students from other CUNY schools as well.
Another problem that arose was how we would approach handling the cafe. We decided that we would bring up around three topics related to nuclear power, break people up into groups, do some icebreakers, and finally allow them to discuss these topics. At the end we would discuss as a whole of what we came up with and if there are any major conclusions that the majority agreed on.
