Throughout the year, the CSC presents free public showings and demonstrations of stereo imagery in public forums. These demonstrations take place in locations such as libraries, museums, clubs, and schools. Demonstrations include slide projection, viewing of stereo cards, information concerning the history of stereoscopy, and the present day use of stereo imagery, and technical discussion of the process of rendering stereo images. There also have been large such demonstration events including the "3D Scope" event that was put on yearly at OMSI by the CSC. The 1999 3D Scope event is in this site's history section shows one of those events.

CSC sponsors various workshops during the year which relate to specific areas of stereo photography or image making. The workshops are open to the public and are hands-on opportunities to learn some particular aspect or technique. With the establishment of the 3D Center some of the workshops have evolved into full fledged classes held by the Center itself.
