Science Squad

The BSI Science Squad is a team of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder who visit Denver area classrooms to lead hands-on science activities with K-12 students. Almost all Science Squad visits are free to schools. Interested teachers should contact individual Science Squad members as quickly as possible to reserve programs for their classes.
