Join us on March 2, 2024 for our next Saturday Workshop!

The Spring 2024 GROW Saturday Workshop will be held on March 2, 2024 with the theme "STEM Superheroes." At the workshop, middle school students will participate in a variety of hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics activities on the K-State Manhattan Campus. Each activity will showcase a "STEM superhero" (past or present) and the amazing contributions they made or are making in their field. You may even meet some K-State research superheroes, too!

Activities will be led by K-State faculty, staff and students and will take place between 9AM - 3:30PM on K-State's campus in Manhattan, KS.
