Teen Science Cafe is a student-led group held at Sanford Research once a month. Students invite speakers to teach them about a science topic and do hands-on activities.

There are over 10,000 rare diseases that affect over 30 million Americans. Many rare diseases follow a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. This activity allows students to apply their knowledge of Mendelian genetics patterns and encourages them to research what is known about the diseases. The National Organization for Rare Disorders has information that can be used by students.
