Scientists are routinely asked to explain findings from the lab to the general public. At Kids' Tech University (KTU;http://kidstechuniversity.vbi.vt.edu), we want to support undergraduates and graduate students in turning their research (or affliated research) into a hands-on exhibit.
If you are a Virginia Tech undergraduate or graduate student and are interested in honing your presentation skills to create a research centric hands-on event (hosted on the Virginia Tech campus) we are interested in working with you! We understand that consumables cost money and are offering a grant award (in the size of $50 to $100 each) to students in support of their project. These awards will be used only towards supplies, that KTU leaders will purchase; no money will be exchanged or given directly to award recipients.
Dates for hands-on events include: January 26, February 23, or March 23, 2013 (tentatively 1:30-4 pm)
Place- On the Virginia Tech campus
Eligibility
You must be a Virginia Tech Undergraduate or Graduate student to be considered eligible for a grant award; see above for award guidelines. All interested students must fill out the form located at: http://kidstechuniversity.vbi.vt.edu/undergrads.php . You will be asked to meet with Dr. Kristy Collins to discuss your project (she has extensive experience with the KTU program and can offer assistance in designing projects and making connections; she is here to help!).
