2014.01.25. Kids' Tech University. "How can mathematics help us understand certain diseases of the eye?" - An interactive session led by Dr. Erika Camacho. MLK Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Summer co-director of the Mathematical & Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI).
Kids’ Tech University is a semester-long event! Four sessions are held in the Spring timeframe, like a normal university semester. Each session is an all-day event that consists of an interactive morning session centered on answering a question about the world around us, a break for lunch, and an afternoon hands-on component featuring the Virginia Tech professors, students, clubs, and community.
The 2024 Spring program will be hosted at the Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA campus. We strive to create a "university feel" that includes children attending an interactive session (lecture) with their peers in a university lecture hall. Parents will pick up their kids after the interactive session and escort them to lunch and the hands-on exhibits in the afternoon.
