What will I do in C-Tech^2?

C-Tech2 is designed to help you explore all the engineering options at Virginia Tech. You will be assigned to a small group of other participants during the day and take part in hands-on activities presented by faculty and graduate students from a wide-variety of engineering departments, and attend informational sessions on topics such as college admissions and scholarships, and the engineering majors offered at Virginia Tech. Attendees will also complete a design project culminating in a showcase on the final afternoon.

In the evenings and during the weekend, your Residential Advisors (Virginia Tech students) will plan social activities so you can get to know the other campers, the campus, and the surrounding area. You can download the 2024 schedule below.
