Super Science Saturday Coming To Boulder!

BOULDER, Colo. -- 7NEWS is proud to be the official media sponsor for SUPER SCIENCE SATURDAY, October 25, at NCAR's Mesa Lab in Boulder.

Super Science Saturday is an annual event hosted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) that is FREE and open to the public. The event combines science education with Halloween fun and is ideal for teachers, students, and families. The excitement begins at 10 AM and lasts until 4 PM.

Festivities include live demonstrations, hands-on activity tables, and special science workshops. Again this year, the 24/7 Weather Center at 7NEWS will bring its "24/7 Weather Experience" to Super Science Saturday, giving attendees the chance to see what a live television weather set looks like, as well as a chance to stand in front of the green screen and do the weather. 7News Meteorologists Mike Nelson, Richard Ortner and Lisa Hidalgo will all be making an appearance to sign autographs and say hello!

NCAR is the world's premiere research facility for weather and climate and many of the top NCAR scientists will be on hand to answer questions about our often wild and fast changing weather. Also included this year is the outdoor physics adventure featuring a climbing wall, kayak tank, and mountain bike course!

Food and drinks will be for sale in the NCAR cafeteria.

Bring along a new or gently used coat to donate to our COATS FOR COLORADO campaign!

NCAR's Mesa Laboratory is located at 1850 Table Mesa Drive in Boulder.
