UCCS is hosting the 2025 IEEE Cool Science Carnival Day on Saturday, September 27, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The IEEE Pikes Peak Section will be hosting a booth featuring three interactive tables under the theme:

🎪 Magnets, Motors, Microcontrollers, and Monster Magic
Hands-on demos involving electromagnets, levitating pencils, robotics, and more!

We are inviting Section members—to support the booth by signing up for just one hour during the day.  Ideally, we would like 2 or more volunteers per table.

Why just one hour?

• So you have plenty of time to explore the 100+ amazing exhibits,

• Or return to your weekend studies, if you are an engineering student (ieee member or non-member)

• Or bring your friends and families to enjoy the event!

🧪 Crash-Course Prep Sessions

To help you feel confident running the demos, optional hands-on prep sessions will be held:

• Mon, July 21

• Mon, August 18

• Mon, September 15
  📍 Pikes Peak 21C Library – ENT Conference Room
  🕔 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

These are ideal for those who missed the STEAM-TEAMS outreach meetings (Feb–Jun 2025). Meeting notes are being documented here:
