Have you checked out the First Saturday Science at Metropolitan State University events yet? Colleges are a great resource for science events. They are free and geared towards kids of all ages, although kids 18 and under need to have an adult with them.
Each month has a different theme. The theme for November 2nd will be Switch On—The Power of Electricity
Kids of all ages are invited to take a closer look at how electricity works, where it comes from, and how it can transform our future!
Electricity is the most versatile energy source on Earth, and it has played a vital part in history. But it could play a much different role in our future as we transition to more renewable forms of electric power.

Additional information about the “First Saturday Events”
Free and open to the public. No RSVP needed. Youth under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
First Saturday Science is a program for children of all ages to expand their exposure to science. Once a month, kids are guided through an exploration of a specific field of inquiry in a hands-on laboratory at Metropolitan State University. The goal of this program is to demonstrate the accessibility of science: that it is for everyone to discover and experience and that it encompasses many diverse and realistic options for future careers. Activities are designed and led by Metropolitan State students.
