2012 Philadelphia Science FestivalCool Science will be traveling out of state for the first time to the Philadelphia Science Festival (April 20-29), where we will present our Water Marbles hands-on activity (demonstrating super-hydrophobic surface chemistry) at the Science Carnival on Saturday, April 21st, and at the Lucien E Blackwell Library on Wednesday, April 25th. To learn more about hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface chemistry, aerogels, water and surface tension, visit our new Water Marbles activity page.

GiVE! 2010Cool Science was 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. This year we raised more almost $6,000 to support our Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival, and to keep the Cool Science Carnival Day a completely free event. Thanks to all of you who donated!

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!
