KTU hands-on activities

The schedule for the Jan. 31 event is on the KTU website at http://kidstechuniversity.vbi.vt.edu . Within the next week we will probably be releasing the schedule for the Feb. 28, March 28 and April 18, 2009 day events. The Jan. 31 event is a little different from the other dates due to the fact that we are going to the Math Emporium and we are divided into 2 groups of kids to do the hands-on activity- "Explorations in Math and Science Through Computer Graphics" which is led and developed by Terri Bourdon of the Math Department here at Tech.  

For the Feb. 28, March 28 and April 18th dates we are renting large halls on campus and inviting exhibits from Virginia Tech departments and the community. The planning for these events has already begun (yes, among the mist of the Jan. 31 day event!) We have a really great turn-out of departments already. Now, if I told you exactly who I wouldn't have anything else to blog about later on so I'm going to save this little piece of juicy information for the future, but be assured you will find out all about the exhibits and the departments/community organizations that are sponsoring them!
