Our CU Wizards...

For over four decades, the CU Wizards has engaged and informed children about the wonders of science. Once each month, from September though June, CU Wizards presents a Saturday morning interactive outreach show. The CU Wizards shows, hosted by renowned University of Colorado professors, are FREE to the public to provide families a perfect educational start to a fun-filled weekend. The shows are geared toward students in preschool through middle school, but all are welcome! The in-person shows are offered during the school year and June. A video archive of the shows is available so that previous shows can be viewed any time. 

CU Wizards is happy to share another new season with you as we explore the exciting worlds of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and more. Chief Wizards and Program Directors, Professors David Nesbitt and John Bohn, along with Program Coordinator Candice Bartholomew Brown and all of the amazing CU Wizards, welcome you!
