The Colorado Shakespeare Festival offers summer camps for kids and teens on the CU Boulder campus to expand their understanding of Shakespeare through engagement and practice.
Shakespeare's Sprites is a playful introduction to the Bard for ages 6–9. Discover the fun of Shakespeare through pool-noodle fights, silly insults, Renaissance songs and lively scene work. Each week culminates in a final showing for family and friends.
This program is the perfect way to instill a love of language and theater in your child. Students enrolled in Shakespeare’s Sprites should have basic reading skills.
Each summer, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival invites kids ages 9-18 to CU Boulder’s campus to study Shakespeare with CSF professionals. Working in small groups, these students learn about Shakespeare by rehearsing, staging and performing a shortened play on the Outdoor Mary Rippon Stage.
Camp Shakespeare is a fabulous way for kids and teens to explore theater and Shakespeare in a creative and supportive environment. The session will culminate in free public performances on the Mary Rippon Outdoor Stage.
All camps take place on campus at CU Boulder. Sibling and multi-session discounts available. Learn more.

The Hearing Research Laboratory is recruiting participants for a research study on how different listening conditions affect our ability to perceive noisy speech that has been processed in a way that mimics state-of-the-art hearing aids. We are interested in determining how hearing aid settings can be optimized for speech understanding when we are listening with two ears in realistic environments.
You may be eligible if you are aged 18 years or older with normal hearing.
What will you have to do? If you qualify, you will be presented speech and will repeat back the words/sentences that you hear. You will visit the Hearing Research Lab about three times.
How much time will it take? The study will include three visits over approximately two to three weeks, for a total of about four hours in the laboratory. We will schedule the visits at a time convenient for you. You will be paid $15 per hour for your time. You will also receive a free hearing test to determine if you qualify for the study.
The study will be held in the Hearing Research Laboratory in the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences at 2501 Kittredge Loop Rd.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is excited about the CU Boulder History Project (CHP) and the potential of engaging students in the telling of our institution’s story. We invite students to submit student grant proposals and encourage faculty to submit team grant proposals related to the history of our campus.
Since 2021, the CHP has worked to provide a more complete and accurate telling of the institution’s history by drawing out new and diverse stories that deepen our understanding of our community’s strengths and flaws. The unearthing of this history in public and institutional archives is an interdisciplinary collaboration with students, alums, faculty and staff.
UROP encourages faculty to apply for team grants (up to $3,000) to support the participation of undergraduates in projects that advance the goals of the CHP. We seek proposals that address critical aspects of the work and engage students in meaningful ways. Proposals that create opportunities for underrepresented students will receive priority in the award process.
Tenured/tenure-track, research faculty and contract instructors at CU Boulder are eligible to apply for team grants. Graduate students or postdocs may serve in a supervisory role, but the faculty mentor must provide some direct mentoring. Participating students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at CU Boulder.
Apply by Feb. 17 for funding in summer 2023 and/or academic year 2023–24.
