Title: Hidden Figures: Virginia Tech Facility Tours - Goodwin Hall + the  
Terrestrial Robotics Lab
Virginia Tech's Division of Information Technology presents Hidden Figures:  
Tour of Goodwin Hall + the Terrestrial Robotics Lab as part of their  
celebration of Women's Month on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 which will depart  
the Haymarket Theater inside the Squires Students Center on the campus of  
Virginia Tech at 7:15 pm.

Goodwin Hall houses instructional and research labs and classrooms as well  
as groundbreaking technology that measures even the smallest vibrations  
occurring inside the building. This data will allow researchers to study  
structural relations related to building design and security, occupancy  
monitoring for emergency response, structural health monitoring, and more.

TREC (Terrestrial Robotics Engineering & Controls Lab, Department of  
Mechanical Engineering) was founded to study cutting edge mechanics and  
controls in order to create robotic platforms to change the way the world  
perceives robotics - they are developing robots that can respond in  
disaster response scenarios as well as in daily life. The TREC Lab is  
developing one of the world’s first fire-fighting humanoid robots through  
the Office of Naval Research’s Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot  
(SAFFiR) program. TREC also competes in the DARPA Robotics Challenge.

Space is limited to 30 people and registration required:  
https://virginiatech.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3aezQph0ohVX3cp.

The Virginia Tech facilities tours available after the free Hidden Figures  
movie screening include:
• Visionarium + Assistive Technologies Lab (Torgersen Hall)
• Goodwin Hall + the Terrestrial Robotics Lab
• Ware Lab + Hybrid Electric Vehicle Lab

All tours will depart Haymarket Theatre at 7:15 pm and required advance  
registration due to limited space.

The series of events "Hidden Figures: Into the Future" will include a free  
showing of the award-winning movie, with a keynote speaker and Q&A session,  
followed by a variety of tours of Virginia Tech science and technology  
facilities. We will also be sharing information related to college access  
and majors in the STEM and data science fields.
