21st Century Kids

Students participate in 21st Century Kids at Penn State Behrend.

The 21st Century Kids Program is designed to bring youth from rural populations to Penn State Behrend and provide exposure to opportunities available through post-secondary education. Students participate in hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math workshops taught by Behrend Faculty, tour campus, and experience a college setting. Throughout the school year, 7th and 8th grade students from the Warren County School District and Forest County Schools will visit Penn State Behrend for a day. The students will tour campus, participate in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) workshops, and eat lunch in the campus dining hall. This gives them the opportunity to experience a college setting, interact with college students and faculty, and explore the world of STEAM.

These programs are developed in partnership with the Warren/Forest Hi-Ed Council.

For more information, contact the Youth Education Outreach team.
