In celebration of its second year hosting a NASA Centennial Challenge, WPI is once again transforming its campus into a family-friendly festival of science and technology. Come to TouchTomorrow 2013 on Saturday, June 8, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., for an out-of-this world experience filled with interactive exhibits, learning, games, and fun.  The event is free and open to the public.  NASA will bring a wide-variety of very cool displays and WPI will host hands on activities and lab tours.  In addition, local programs like FIRST and the Museum of Science will have demonstrations and displays.

And two days earlier — June 6 from 4PM to 6PM — , the WPI STEM Education Center will host an event for PK-12 teachers, administrators, informal educators, and home school parents to:

• Engage in a hands-on STEM session led by an Aerospace Education Specialist from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center; activities will be matched by grade band (K-5; 6-12)
• Learn about the Sample Return Robot Centennial Challenge
• Meet some of the robotics teams that took part in the challenge and learn about the different robot designs.

The event is free and open to all educators but requires registration at www.wpi.edu/academics/stem/touchtomorrow-invite.html.  For information contact Mia Dubosarsky at mdubosarsky@wpi.edu.
