The 2020 The Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival will run from Saturday, October 10th through Sunday, October 18th. It normally features dozens of special events designed to educate, entertain and most importantly engage the general public with the wide variety of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) taking place throughout the Pikes Peak Region. This year, due to the health concerns surrounding COVID-19 we are planning for a mix of virtual (online) events as well as some (probably smaller) in-person events.
This is your organization's opportunity to host your own special event or program that shows off what you do in a fun and engaging way. It may be open to kids, teens, adults only, families or anyone. You are free to do whatever you want (within reason of course), including determining the date and time, number and ages of the participants, require reservations, and charge a small fee if necessary to offset any unusual expenses* (we strongly encourage you to keep this free if possible, or at a very low cost if necessary so that all can participate). Examples of past in-person events include science trivia or comedy nights, talks, lab and facility tours, computer coding workshops, star gazing nights, guided nature hikes, science of cooking or brewing workshops, science story time for kids, farm tours, gardening classes and much, much more. For more special event ideas check out last year's CSCSF events flyer (765 KB PDF).
Virtual events or programs may be live and interactive or pre-recorded for webcast at a scheduled time. We are also looking for shorter programs that we could provide to local teachers for use in their classrooms throughout the week. If you cannot present the program from your location (using your facilities/software/hardware) we hope to be able to provide any necessary production assistance.
Please complete the form below if you would like to host a special event or program in this year's festival. If you have any questions before or after submitting the form you may contact us. We're always happy to discuss any ideas or concerns you have, and help you get started if you're not sure what you want to do or need any support. We'll follow up soon with more info or if we have additional questions. Thanks.
