CU Science Discovery

The 3rd annual at Crest View Elementary brought together 81 4th graders and 29 volunteers to explore the biodiversity surrounding the school. Students discovered and identified 92 different organisms! THANK YOU to the wonderful teachers and administration at Crest View who support integrating outdoor education and community collaborations, and to the volunteers from CU Science Discovery, Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research - NWT LTER site, and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies departments at University of Colorado Boulder, The Nature Conservancy, City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks, and Classrooms for Climate Action, who took time and energy out of their days to get kids fired up about the natural world!

Thanks to everyone who joined us at today's University of Colorado Boulder Take Your Kids to Work Day event and created a colorful flower for our Versatile Garden. Even Chip got in on the action! Big thanks to MathHappens Foundation for the colorful inspiration!

Happy , fellow inhabitants! If you've got a kiddo interested in learning more about the amazing and how we can take better care of it, have them check out one of these environmental-themed programs:

We had a blast with our friends at STEM Launch last night, learning about renewable energy, building circuits and LEGO vehicles, creating art with math, solving escape room puzzles, and playing some of the creative board games designed in our Club Innovation program. Grateful for support from the Colorado Department of Education that helps make these family nights happen!

This past Saturday, the Science Discovery team got a chance to celebrate all things with over 950 community members at our annual Family event! We spent our time creating diatoms, using Play-Doh to understand Braille, visualizing music through math, observing the sun through telescopes, exploring fluid dynamics, building Binary code keychains, and so much more. Below are a few of our favorite moments. Did you attend the event? Share your pics in the comments.
