Denver, Colo. – 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 public school.
Students will experience more than 100 interactive experiments using magnets, energy, sound, air, light, and more, in 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 show that science can be accessible and interesting to anyone.
The Little Shop of Physics program serves as an example of a broad portfolio of educational programs with planned offerings at the future CSU Campus at the National Western Center in north Denver, which will focus on the subjects of food, water, sustainability, and human and animal health.
