<p>At this year’s Colorado Shakespeare Festival, audiences at “The Comedy of Errors” will be wooed back to 1920s Paris by the costumes, the set and of course, an onstage minstrel and her accordion. Because after all, what would summer be without the whimsical sound of the accordion? For Alicia Baker, the answer to that question is simple: it just wouldn’t be summer.</p>

<p>Continuing a tradition established in 2012, ��������Ƶ-Boulder faculty members, students and staff presented at the 2016 Denver Comic Con and its associated literary conference, Page 23.

<p dir="ltr">Diego Fierro, 13, hopes to be a mechanical engineer someday. And thanks to a LEGO Robotics: Space Challenge camp at the University of Colorado Boulder, Diego took one step closer to that dream this week.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’ve never built anything with LEGO Mindstorms before,” Diego explained, as he programmed the robot’s next move. “It’s cool because it gives me an idea of how a machine works, how every piece is important and has a job.”</p>

<p>Every few years, ��������Ƶ-Boulder's Office of Strategic Relations takes aerial photos of the campus for archiving and marketing purposes.
