The 2021 Colorado Springs Cool Science Festival will kick off with the Cool Science Carnival Day at UCCS on Saturday, October 9th.  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).  The festival will continue through October 17th with a wide variety of fun and engaging events for the general public spotlighting STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) throughout the Pikes Peak Region.  After last year's Carnival Day and many of the festival week events were presented virtually, for 2021 we are hoping to be back to a (mostly) normal festival and Carnival Day with minimal or no social distancing restrictions.  We will update this page if necessary with any changes.

Cool Science would not be able to present any of these amazing events without the help of our passionate and dedicated volunteers- who have just as much fun as the kids!  If you would like to join our team, just fill out the application form below, whether you are available just a couple of hours or several days.  No experience is necessary- we'll show you everything you need to know.  We'll contact you soon with more information.  Thanks!
