It's National Teacher Appreciation Day!

Thank a Teacher Today. 💜

On this National Teacher Appreciation Day, Science Discovery would like to take a moment to express gratitude for teachers and school partners who work tirelessly to provide safe, affirming, and engaging spaces for the young learners in their care. YOU are the STEAM engine that inspires our students. Our work and partnerships are not possible without dedicated teachers like you – thank you for all that you do!

Water in the Four Corners Workshop

On April 26th, CU Science Discovery, the STROBE Science and Technology Center, and Fort Lewis College facilitated the 2025 Water in the Four Corners workshop. Focused on a diverse range of topics within water science for upper elementary and middle school students, 13 educators from the Four Corners region of CO and NM gathered for a productive day of collaboration and hands-on exploration around water science and local water issues. As part of the workshop, educators were given a kit of water science materials to test with their classrooms in fall 2026.

Science Discovery is keen to partner with more schools and teachers to share these educational resources and training around water science. If you're interested in bringing this opportunity to your area, reach out via email and let's talk! 

2nd Annual Community of Practice Concludes

Science Discovery's School and Teacher Programs team just conducted the final virtual session of the 2nd annual Integrating Technology with Micro:Bit Community of

Practice for the 2024-2025 school year. Across the seven sessions that took place

throughout the school year, teachers from all corners of the state – Peetz to

Mancos – participated in a collaborative group of networking, sharing, and

building resources around computer science education and Micro:bit. This June,

the community of practice cohort is concluding with an in-person summit in

Glenwood Springs for more collaboration and skill-building! Interested in

joining next school year? Stay tuned to email over the summer for instructions on how to join this incredible community of educators.
