Central College is hosting a hands-on STEM Visit Day for high school students.

The free event this Friday allows prospective students to make connections, tour campus, and discover what Central has to offer in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, with the opportunity to work side-by-side with Central professors.

Students can choose from five sessions with topics in chemistry reactions of slime; statistics with dolphins; thermal imaging and hidden structures; discovering the why and what of human movement; and robots and computer science. They also will have time to learn and connect with Central alumni in STEM-related fields.
