Pinhead Punk Science, Since 2007

A Summer Program for Children held at the playground of the Telluride Intermediate School Tuesday evenings in the summer from 5:00 - 6:00pm

From lava to light, reactions to rockets, Pinhead Punk Science offers a broad spectrum of topics weekly every summer, providing the Telluride regional community with quality science education for children and their families. Turning kids on to science and imparting an intuitive understanding the scientific method is a goal of the program. All Punk Science presenters are PhD scientists from renowned instititions. Attendance averages over 100 people for this wildly fun, demonstration based, outdoor event. 

Pinhead Punk Science was started in 2007 by TSRC director, Nana Naisbitt, at the behest of one of TSRC's founders, Stephen Berry. Since 2008, the Punk Science program has been run by TSRC's sister organization, Pinhead Institute, often with TSRC scientists as the presenters.
