For over 40 years, CU Wizards presents FREE STEM Saturday morning shows for kids and their families. Visit: www.colorado.edu/cuwizards

Join CU Wizards Professors Eleanor Hodby and Steven Pollock, along with Gwen Eccles, as they dive into the fascinating world of light, color and color perception - where physics and biology meet!

CU Professors Kelvin Bates and Steven Brown travel the world to study the amazing, invisible, ethereal stuff that blankets our amazing planet and makes life on Earth possible.

Have you wondered...Why is the Sky Blue!? Why are sunrises orange? What is air made of exactly? How can you make your own cloud? Did you know the Earth wears sunglasses!? And what's the story about the greenhouse gases and what do they do?

This show will bring air down to Earth! It's geared for young students who are eager to learn about the science of our atmosphere.

Join us on Saturday, November 15, 2025, for an electrifying experience as CU Physics Professor Daniel Bolton uncovers the wonders of electric charges and magnets up close! Ever wondered how electrical attraction and repulsion function or what transpires inside an electric circuit? Curious about the inner workings of a power plant in generating electricity? 

Begin your weekend Saturday morning with Chris Marelli, Director of CU Boulder's General Chemistry Laboratories, as he presents entertaining & COLORFUL demonstrations! Chemistry is both a science and an art...bring the family to campus to learn all about the chemistry of colors!
CU Wizards shows are in-person, FREE and geared for grades K-8 and families.

We live in a world where everything spins! Join CU Wizards on an exciting adventure to discover what that means, how it feels, and why things get weird when they spin! 

Gwen Eccles, CU Physics Demonstration Coordinator, presents the first show of the CU Wizards season that will include hands-on activities for the audience.
