CU Science Discovery, in partnership with a few campus and community friends, invite you to join our free Family STEAMfest event at CU Boulder. Parents, grandparents and kids of all ages are invited to get hands-on with all things science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM)! We'll be sparking curiosity and engagement with a wide selection of table-top activities and demonstrations:

  • Enter the Space Zone for a star show with Fiske Planetarium and the National Solar Observatory
  • Go on an EV and electromagnetic exploration with CU Engineering
  • Get tactile with dinosaurs and CU Boulder's Museum of Natural History
  • Learn about how animals get their stripes and spots
  • Use a Chladni plate to visualize music
  • Test your skills in the Math Zone and more!

Our friends at Stingers Café will be offering breakfast and lunch options to keep us fueled up for our STEAM-filled day. RSVP today, and we'll see you there!
