Location
Colorado Springs, Colorado

The Colorado Springs Science Festival is a great opportunity to get involved in outreach and public education. If you're in Colorado and want to get involved, contact USAPECS at USAPECS [at] gmail.com. For further information about USAPECS involvement, please contact Tristy at tristyv [at] gmail.com (please CC USAPECS).

This is a great program for getting people into schools to do E&O presentations, as well as hosting a "Cool Science Carnival" the first weekend (booths and science activities usually at University of CO, Colorado Springs) and a "Maker Faire" during the last weekend. There are also often public lectures and films in the evenings. It is a perfect opportunity for APECS people in the area!

If this sounds like something that you might be interested in (putting together a booth as a group, visiting classrooms, etc.), we can get in touch with the organizers and make it happen. If there is enough interest to move forward with an organized USAPECS contribution, logistics will be decided during the planning.
