Denver, Colo. — This Thursday, Colorado State University’s Little Shop of Physics (LSOP) science outreach program will bring its expansive collection of hands-on science experiments to more than 300 Denver middle and high school students at Cole Middle School, a DSST school.
Students from grades 6, 9, and 10 will experience more than 100 interactive experiments using magnets, energy, sound, air, light, and more, in both light- and dark-room settings. Developed by undergraduate students, staff, and volunteers on CSU’s campus in Fort Collins, all of the program’s experiments are designed to “teach that science is something anyone can do, that it is a field that is interesting and accessible to anyone.”
The Little Shop of Physics program serves as an example of a broad portfolio of educational programs offered at the future CSU Campus at the National Western Center in north Denver, which will focus around the five core themes of food, water, health, energy, and the environment.
