“The Café was a great success” says Irene van Nugteren, one of the organizers of the event. “Learners showed genuine interest in the topics as they were posing question after question.“

Young minds surprised many of the people who attended the Café including the science expects with the intelligence, debating skill and knowledge about both astronomy and astrology. “I am going to follow a career in astronomy, I am interested to know what is happening around us and only a few women in the world are in astronomy industry” said one of the "UP with SCIENCE" learners.
“I think the Science Café was very good; interesting questions were asked from a variety of angles and the learners could hear facts from both sides and make up their own minds”, said Rudi Horak, manager of Sci-Enza.

Another Science Café on the same topic for students and staff will be held during the second semester.
