Spirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville (STFK) is a member of the NOVA scienceNOW community and proudly sponsors Science Café events for the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

The STFK Science Café has been meeting monthly since April, 2011 to promote science interest and education. We begin each meeting by watching a 10-minute NOVA video about a science topic. This is followed by a Q&A discussion in which attendees have their questions answered by a guest scientist. This is a casual, fun, engaging dialog for adults and mature teenagers. Children age 5-12 are welcome at attend with their parents, and we will keep them busy at Kid's Café with a science lesson and activities that help make learning science fun!

Please RSVP by sending an e-mail message to rsvp@knoxsciencecafe.org. Let us know how many adults and children are in your group.

• Location: The Knoxville Zoo (NOTE: there is no charge for people attending only the Science Cafe)

• Entry Instructions: This event will take place during the normal operating hours of the Knoxville Zoo, so the parking lots will be crowded. Inform the parking attendant that you are there for a meeting and are not visiting the Zoo, and he will let you park free of charge. Ride the shuttle to the ticket booth if you park in the lower lot, or walk to the main gates. Enter at the Ranger's office, which is located to the right of the ticket counters and main gates. Inform the Ranger that greets you that you are there to attend the Science Cafe, and the Ranger will direct you where to go.

Please make plans to attend! If you have any questions, we have a special e-mail address set up, sciencecafe@spirit-and-truth.net.
