BOULDER, Colo. -- 7NEWS is proud to once again be the official media sponsor for SUPER SCIENCE SATURDAY, October 30, 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.

This year’s theme is Science With A Blast. Throughout the day, NCAR’s “Science Wizards” will explore the principles of exciting science with live demonstrations and hands-on activities. The day also includes interactive fun with the Little Shop of Physics workshop from CSU, weather balloon launches, a cryogenics magic show, face painting, an inflatable two-lane bungee run, the Wild Okapi Marimba Band, and many other fun activities.

“Super Science Saturday is a firm favorite with kids, parents, and teachers in the Boulder-Denver area,” says Laura Allen, an education and outreach specialist from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages NCAR. “We hope to see lots of kids and families dressed in their Halloween costumes ready to experience the wonders of science.”

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.
