PISEC is continuously innovating, developing, and implementing new opportunities for communities to engage in informal physics education and scientific practices. 

We are happy to collaborate with local community members to design and implement partnership-based outreach events.  In the past, PISEC volunteers have engaged in demo shows, science talks, career panels, summer camps, and several other types of engagements.  With all of these offerings, PISEC's goal is to go beyond the traditional paradigm of outreach that frames the scientists as teachers or "givers" of science and the participants as learners or passive "receivers" of science. Similar to our afterschool and in-class school programs, we approach all of our community events and other engagements with a focus on mutually beneficial partnerships, framing participants and scientist volunteers as collaborators in the pursuit of excitement and scientific discovery.

In addition to community events or programs, we are happy to host school groups at CU for field trips!
