Cool Science is once again honored to be selected as one of the 44 Nonprofits Worth Your Support in the third annual Colorado Springs Independent's GiVE! campaign 2011. Last year we raised more than $6,000! This year you can contribute specifically to support our Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival, and to keep the Cool Science Carnival Day a completely free event. Donations can be made through December 31st.

Cool Science has a great new design for our T-shirts (click for a bigger view), thanks to local artist Corbin Hillam. Check it out, and buy one for yourself ($15 for kids sizes, $20 for adult sizes) at any Cool Science event. You'll be helping to support our programs all year long, and keep the carnival free! Kids- you can also download the new design and color it any way you like!
