Curiosity Lab
These year-round, virtual workshops and resources can be a helpful place to start exploring by introducing you to a wide range of opportunities. Registration is open to prospective, transfer, incoming and current undergraduates (as well as the staff and faculty supporting them on the CU Boulder campus).
Registration is open, and we warmly welcome you to add your name to the list—whether you're a prospective, transfer, incoming or current undergraduate (or a staff or faculty member supporting students on the CU Boulder campus). If you'd like to highlight a program, resource or have an idea for a topic, contact us about planning a session.
All workshops are hosted on Zoom and last approximately 30 minutes. Sessions are designed to support students at any stage of their undergraduate career—and with any level of experience. Each workshop begins with a brief topical presentation and follows with student-centered discussions driven by the needs of participants. Participants can register at any time, using the form linked on this page. Reminders about upcoming sessions are sent to all registered participants, who may join any topic of interest. Resources will be sent to all registered participants after each session.
