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.

The second half of summer kicked off on Monday, July 6. Visit the Summer 2026 section of our website to explore camps and classes with availability on the CU Boulder campus.

Teens are invited to explore STEM from a whole new angle. Most people know what STEM-based high school classes look like. Most of us even have a good idea as to what professional STEM research looks like. But what does STEM in that crucial, transitional college phase look like? Join us for an hour of insights at this panel-style discussion event featuring an undergraduate student, a PhD student, and a recent graduate in STEM. We hope to see you in the virtual realm!
