Hands-on activites of KTU!

KTU is focusing on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines. So, after the lecture that focuses on a STEM discipline we have planned a hands-on activity time for the children and/or parents that focus on that same discipline. For the hands-on activity for the Math discipline (on Jan. 31) the parents will drop off their child at the Math Emporium in the University Mall to do a hands-on computer activity. The Math Emporium is a wonderful and important asset to the Virginia Tech community! The parents and the students will definitely be impressed of the facility! 

For all the other disciplines (Technology on Feb. 28, Science on March 28, and Engineering on April 18) we are renting large spaces on campus and will have many hands-on activities going on so that parents AND children can walk around and do the activities. We are really excited about these activities because it will showcase the great research and outreach activities associated with Virginia Tech, 4H and the community.
