CU Science Discovery’s school-based STEM Workshops are full-day (4.5 to 5-hour) STEM immersion programs that can be delivered in two ways:

  • At your school for up to three 4th-8th grade classrooms per day of thirty students.
  • Convene multiple schools in your area! (up to 90 students). Requested 10 to 1 chaperone to student ratio, minimum. 

STEM Workshops feature an introduction, three 75-minute classes focused on a specific theme or content area, and a program wrap-up. Looking for a shorter STEM experience? Check out our 1-hour classroom programs.

These programs are designed to:

  • 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
