Location: CU Science Discovery
Do you have a love for all things science? This week will be spent exploring a variety of different sciences from engineering, chemistry, and physics, to mathematics, coding, and art! We'll discover what’s the matter with MATTER in chemistry or how it can be manipulated with physics. We'll take a day to explore robotics and coding, before strapping on our engineer caps to become master builders. But we aren't done yet – we'll then explore our artistic drives using clay and paper engineering to understand 2D and 3D design. We'll end our time together with a whole new mathematical perspective on the world around us.
What to Bring: While at Science Discovery, participants are expected to store their personal belongings in their backpack. Space is limited so please limit the number of personal items brought from home. All items should be labeled with the participant’s first and last name in case an item is misplaced.

CU Boulder employs a framework for public health and COVID-19 decision-making that follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. While masks are optional on the CU Boulder campus, we encourage those who prefer to do so to continue wearing them. Properly fitted N95 or KN95 masks remain an effective tool for preventing transmission, especially in conjunction with vaccination. Students, parents and staff are encouraged to stay home if they are feeling sick or have COVID-like symptoms.
Feeling under the weather? You should begin isolation at home as soon as you:
- Begin to experience symptoms that may be related to COVID-19.
- Receive a positive test result for COVID-19, regardless of whether you have symptoms.
- Have been instructed to isolate by a healthcare provider or public health staff member.
When considering policy changes around COVID-19 transmission prevention, CU Science Discovery will adhere to all campus, county and Public Health guidelines. (Updated January 2024)
