The Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival is all about presenting cool and exciting opportunities for the general public to discover and engage in amazing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) taking place throughout the Pikes Peak Region. For 2025 we are once again expanding the festival to 16 days of special events, from September 27 through October 12 (and we may include a few special events outside those dates as well).
Cool Science Carnival Day will be Saturday,September 27th (10 am - 4 pm) at UCCS.
There are several ways that your business, club, school or other organization can join in the CSCSF fun. Your organization may choose to present your own demonstration show, performance or hands-on activity station for kids in the Cool Science Carnival Day at UCCS. Your organization may also host your own special event anytime during the Festival dates (we will also consider including some special events anytime in September or October). Finally, if you're organization is not quite ready to create something on your own but still want to participate as a group, we can train your member volunteers to run one of our Carnival Day activities or Festival week events. You can also check out the festival event schedule and Carnival Day activities from last year as well as previous festivals back to 2018 to get a better idea of what the festival and Carnival Day is like and for ideas for events and activities (in 2020 the Carnival Day and most festival events were virtual). You might even take a look at what some other popular festivals around the world are doing, like Atlanta, Cambridge, Wisconsin, Edinburgh and New Zealand.
We also have lots of opportunities for individuals to help out during the Carnival Day and Festival week. Cool Science relies on its passionate and dedicated volunteers to plan, manage and host this extraordinary science festival.
Check back in May 2025 for more information and to sign up to host a special event during the festival, present a hands-on activity or show on Carnival Day, or to volunteer yourself or your group. If you have a question or suggestion you may also contact the festival organizers anytime.
