Wildfires can happen at any time of year in Colorado, which makes fireworks particularly dangerous in the Boulder area. Setting off fireworks also negatively impacts the health and wellness of your neighbors and our community.
The city of Boulder’s firework laws are more restrictive than other areas of Colorado. Laws prohibit items like sparklers, snaps, snakes, bottle rockets, Roman candles and smoke bombs, in addition to fireworks that leave the ground or explode. You may also be held responsible for fireworks used by roommates and guests.
Possible legal penalties include:
You will also be referred to Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution at CU Boulder.
Unused fireworks can be brought to the city of Boulder Public Safety Building at 1805 33rd St. without penalty. Connect with Student Legal Services or visit Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations to learn more about common citations and Boulder ordinances.

You are invited to participate in a research study about the sensory environment. This research project is titled, “Designing a Dynamic and Interactive Sensory Mapping Approach to Support Neurodivergent Sensory Experiences,” led by the Neuro D Lab, an autistic-led design research lab at CU Boulder.
The purpose of this research is to develop an interactive sensory map of the CU Boulder campus and to gather feedback about how people experience sensory environments. The sensory environment includes elements such as sound, lighting, smell, texture, temperature and levels of activity in different spaces.
You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this study. Participation is voluntary, and your responses will be anonymous. There is no compensation for participating. You may choose not to participate or stop at any time, and you may skip any question you do not wish to answer.
This study involves minimal risk. There are no direct benefits to you from participating in this study. However, the information gathered may help researchers and designers better understand sensory experiences on campus and inform the development of tools that support more accessible and inclusive environments.
This questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The study will take place online and can be completed on your own device at a time and location of your choosing. The questionnaire involves reflecting on places on campus you visit or avoid based on sensory qualities, sharing your perspectives on sensory experiences, and providing feedback on sample visualizations. Some of these visualizations include animated content.
We are particularly interested in hearing from neurodivergent individuals—no diagnosis needed.
This study has been approved by the CU Boulder IRB (Protocol #26-0226). If you have questions about the research, you can contact the principal investigator at elena.sabinson@colorado.edu.
If you have concerns or complaints about the research, you can contact the CU Boulder IRB at 303-735-3702 or irbadmin@colorado.edu.
If you would like to participate, complete the survey. Thank you for considering participating in this study.
