For over three decades, the CU Wizards program has presented free monthly shows featuring lively demonstration experiments to entertain and inform children about the wonders of science. The 36th annual series returns Saturday, Jan. 26, running through Saturday, June 22.
These interactive shows are presented one Saturday per month throughout the academic year. The CU Wizards are renowned professors—from departments ranging from physics to psychology—who donate their knowledge, time and energy to create engaging and informative shows for the public.
This semester's topics range from "Surfing with a Mathematician" to "Game of Drones!" and more. Advance registration is not necessary, so be sure to stop by.
All are welcome to attend, though the shows are geared toward children in fifth through ninth grade. Each program starts at 9:30 a.m. and lasts about an hour. The presentations take place across the CU Boulder campus at Cristol Chemistry and Biochemistry and Duane Physics and Astrophysics.
