“Why did you decide to do this stuff?” A young girl asked while her hands were sticky and pink with the salt dough she was making. The directors paused and answered. “I wanted to create the kind of place I would’ve liked when I was a kid, and I was always into this kind of stuff.”
NoCo Science Workshop (NCSW) is a nonprofit organization fiscally sponsored by the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center. We serve low-income and historically marginalized communities in northern Colorado. We are currently based in Fort Collins.
We are committed to providing the space, time, materials, and inspiration for underserved kids to pursue the objectives of their innate curiosity with their families.
We use the most basic tools and materials to explore the whole range of natural phenomena.
We encourage academic engagement and success beyond the formal system, helping kids to find their genius and sense of agency regardless of their experience at school.
