<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0in; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black;">Kids’ Tech University, founded by Fralin Life Science Institute and Virginia 4-H, is a first-come, first-served spring kids program that is open to children ages 9 through 12
as of September 30, 2020. This program is open to all children meeting the age requirement, regardless of place of residence or academic achievement, and can accommodate up to 250 kids representing a geographically diverse area. Program dates are Jan. 30,
Feb. 27, March 20 and April 10th, 2021. Sessions will be held in the morning and will conclude by noon.</span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black;"> </span><br>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0in; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black;">With the current worldwide pandemic (COVID-19) we will be hosting a virtual program utilizing zoom and mailing packets of materials (which will require minimal, if anything,
extra materials from the household) for hands-on activities after the interactive session. Parents are welcome to watch the interactive session with their child and we ask that they assist their child with doing the hands-on activity. Parents may be needed
to assist with poking holes and handling sharp utensils for an activity. Undergraduates will be leading a group of kids/parents through the activity--all done virtually!</span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black;"> </span><br>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0in; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: black;">In order to keep up with the costs of providing a quality program, there will be a nonrefundable registration fee of $50.00 per child, payable upon registration. Parents have
an option to apply for a scholarship for your child at the time you register online.</span><span style="margin: 0px; color: black;"> </span><br>
<font color="#000000" style=""><span style="margin:0px"><br>
</span></font><span style="margin: 0px; color: black;">Registration closes on 1/15/2021 but will close earlier if capacity fills.
