The 2021 Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival Carnival Day at UCCS will be Saturday, October 9, 2021 from 10 am to 4 pm. This hugely popular event typically attracts over 5,000 attendees and features dozens of demonstration shows, performances, laboratory tours, interactive exhibits and hands-on activities for kids (primarily K-8th grades). After last year's Carnival Day was presented virtually online, for 2021 we are hoping to be back to a (mostly) normal festival and Carnival Day with few or no social distancing restrictions. We will update this page if necessary with any changes.
Example activity stations from previous Carnival Days include building and launching paper airplanes or rockets, building or controlling robots, making slime, learning to use telescopes or microscopes, meeting animals, experimenting with magnets, generating electricity, excavating fossils, building towers, and much more. Here's the Carnival Day map (1.2 MB PDF) from 2019 for more examples. You can also find even more examples from our past Big Cool Science Days at CC.
Activity Station Exhibitors typically arrive and begin to set up by 8 am on Carnival Day, must be ready to go by 10 am, and will be expected to stay through the end of the event at 4 pm. Let us know if you need special accommodations for any of this.
