We are currently recruiting volunteers for Kids’ Tech University STEM focused learning experience for kids aged 9-12. This program is delivered by Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech and Northern Virginia 4-H programs. The program takes place over four dates: September 27, October 18, and November 15, and December 6, 2014. All of the dates will take place at the MiRC at Ft. Belvoir and will tentatively last from 8 am - 1 pm. The program consists of an Interactive Session with a Scientist and hands-on activities for the kids and parents. Volunteers are needed to assist with set-up, registration, and helping supervise the hands on activities. The activities are simple and don’t require specialized training; there will be a brief orientation an hour before each program begins. For additional questions or to sign up, contact Samantha Nagurny at snagurny@vt.edu or (703) 324-5353
