The NDSU Office of Teaching and Learning is set to host the Avenues of Scientific Discovery conference (formerly Expanding Your Horizons) on Saturday, April 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:40 p.m. in NDSU’s A. Glenn Hill Center.
The conference is open to all students in grades 7 to 12 from regional schools. This year, each student’s registration fee is paid for by event sponsors.
NDSU faculty and graduate students will conduct 45-minute or 90-minute workshops focusing on a wide variety of topics related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as STEM. Workshop sessions will be held throughout the day for two tracks: grades 7-9 and grades 10-12.
Some workshops include:
- Build Your Own Shaved Ice Business
- A Bat Researcher for a Day
- Many Flavors of Fungi
- Plastics, Paints and Polymers, Oh my!
The goal of the conference is to cultivate an interest in STEM among regional high school and middle school students while introducing them to degrees and careers they may not have known about.
As a student-focused, land-grant, research university, we serve our citizens.
