About the Event

The Department of Geosciences is working together with the CEED Pre-College Programs to provide science outreach activities to high school students (10th, 11th, and 12th grade) visiting Virginia Tech for the Pathways for Future Engineers.

"Pathways for Future Engineers is a multi-year Virginia Tech College of Engineering program designed to support first generation students and their families on the pathway from high school to an engineering degree. The program includes pre-college activities (while students are still in high school) as well as additional support as students pursue their undergraduate degree."
