GROW Saturday Workshops
Join us on April 11, 2026, to "Invent the Future!"
The GROW Saturday Workshop helps ignite a passion for STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math — in the minds of young learners. Students in 6th-8th grade get the unique opportunity to spend an entire day participating in hands-on workshops hosted by K-State faculty, researchers, and students.
Activities will be led by K-State faculty, staff and students and will take place between 9AM - 3:00PM on K-State's campus in Manhattan, KS.
What is the Goal?
The mission of GROW is to increase students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
