What's Your Story?
Each of us is on a journey toward making a difference. What’s your superpower?
Is it curiosity—like Gitanjali Rao, the eleven-year-old who invented a way to test water for lead? Is it determination—like Janet Bonnema, the first woman to work in the Eisenhower Tunnel? Is it resilience—like Casimiro Barela, who overcame tragedy to help write the State Constitution and publish it in three languages?
Come explore your superpower and those of Coloradans past, present, and future. Find out how they made an impact on our state, whether by fighting school segregation or being a world-class athlete. See how your experience compares to the challenges and opportunities faced by generations of Coloradans before you.
Through one-of-a-kind multimedia experiences, you and your friends can tell the world what’s important to you, and share it on the big screen for all to see. Whatever you care about—the outdoors? becoming an entrepreneur? helping others?—you’ll meet Coloradans who share your passion.
Learn about the Colorado Governor’s Citizenship Medal, then nominate someone you think should win it. See Tommy Caldwell’s rock-climbing shoes and the model of Larimer Square Dana Crawford built when she saved the neighborhood. Make a poster to send your message—you’ll see your creation among more than 75 posters spanning 150 years of Colorado history.
In What’s Your Story? you’ll meet 101 people who’ve made an impact—just like you will. See the full list of these Changemakers here.
