STEM Workshops

CU Science Discovery’s student-centered STEM Workshops are full-day (5-hour) tactile learning experiences held at your school for up to three 4th-8th grade classrooms per day.

STEM Workshops feature an introduction, three 75-minute modules focused on a specific theme or content area, and a program wrap-up.

These programs:

  • Provide a full-day of engaging hands-on STEM learning and activities
  • Explore relevant science, engineering or pedagogical themes
  • Develop science, engineering and innovation process skills
  • ​Share cutting-edge science from the University of Colorado Boulder

Contact Science Discovery directly for pricing. Grant and scholarship opportunities may be available for some STEM Workshops. Additional travel and logistical fees apply for schools outside the Denver metro area. A general overview of program logistics can be found below.
