Thank you to Tom Devine and WVU Statler College of Engineering for hosting GHS interested juniors and seniors on Monday, October 24.
Students experienced a full agenda to learn more about cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, and esports. Students participated in two WVU student-led sessions about the WVU Artificial Intelligence Club and WVU Cybersecurity Club. Students were also able to tour the Innovation Hub and the wonderful equipment available for the development of projects. Students had a quick chance to see the Evansdale Library as they wrapped up a wonderful day on campus! Mrs. Ward and Ms. Romine served as teacher organizers and chaperones.
