Title: 2019 Virginia Tech Science Festival
Virginia Tech presents the 6th Annual Virginia Tech Science Festival at

STEM-focused booths such as building an earth wall, wildlife conservation  
efforts, various robotics labs, virtual reality, ancient fossils from the  
Virginia Tech Paleontology Research Group, rockets, volcano demonstrations  
and a teddy bear clinic and an EXO-Skeleton.

The festival also will again host exhibits that are autism-friendly in
