Kids@Kollege

Sign up for Kids@Kollege!

Kids@Kollege is a philanthropic organization whose mission is to bring children from the Atlanta area to our campus for
a day in the spring. The 3rd Annual Kids@Kollege day will be at the SAC fields this Saturday, March 13, 2010 from 12-4 pm.

This event benefits the local schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, near-by children shelters, and other Atlanta-based children organizations by giving kids a day of interactive science experiments, recreational activities, and food with Georgia Tech students and athletes. The event is free for all in attendance, and it is open to children and adolescents of all ages, as well as their families. We will start with a free lunch, followed by Sean Bedford, GT football starting center and aerospace engineer, giving an opening speech. The day will consist of 30 minute rotations between experiments, sports, and a blow-up bouncy house and slide. We have experimenters coming from a variety of research labs on campus, as well as several other campus organizations.

Right now, we have over 1,000 kids registered, so we need all of the volunteers we can get! We are looking for Tech student volunteers to be group leaders for the kids and help us facilitate the event. This day is a very rewarding experience, and all volunteers will receive philanthropy hours for helping out. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here.
