Parents & Others?

An area will be provided in the BTC building with coffee, snacks, and internet access for those who wish to stay on campus for the event.

 

The event will be capped at 200 students to maintain small workshop sizes and allow for more hands-on activities. Entries received after the 200 cap will be placed on a waiting list. Please stand by as we will try to fit in as many students as possible!
