Welcome to CU Science Discovery,

a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education outreach program at the University of Colorado Boulder. Science Discovery manages programs that engage K-12 students and teachers in STEM and connect public audiences with the STEM research happening at CU Boulder. Science Discovery programs utilize CU scientific expertise, equipment, resources and faculty, graduate and undergraduate students in order to provide participants with unique, experiential STEM learning experiences.

Build Something Cool Workshop
Saturday, October 10 | 9:30am–3:30pm
 
Inspired by CU Boulder’s innovative Creative Technology and Design program, students are invited to participate in this hands-on STEM workshop led by Science Discovery and partners. Using the versatile Micro:bit, a pocket-sized computer with endless possibilities, middle and high school students, families, and teachers are invited to practice block-based coding and apply the engineering design process to create their own prototype inventions. Whether they're new to coding or an experienced maker, everyone will find opportunities to strengthen their skills in coding, electronics and design thinking while seeing their imagination come to life. Come explore, create, and build something cool!
 
Emergence: Exploring Quantum Technology Through Music and Dance

Saturday, November 14 | 6–8pm

Curious about quantum? Don't miss Emergence: Exploring Quantum Technology Through Music and Dance—a multimedia performance designed to make quantum science accessible, relevant, and inspiring for all ages. Featuring a quantum physicist from NIST (as seen on NOVA!), musicians from Grande Orquesta Navarre, and accomplished tango dancers, the show will blend physics demos with live music and dance performances to illustrate quantum science concepts.
