Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, April 13, has been celebrated at UVA since the University’s first academic session. Since April 13th falls on a weekend this year, Founder's Day is being celebrated this Friday, April 11th.
The Tom Tom Founder’s Festival publicly acknowledges this historic day with back-to-back talks, workshops, panels, installations, concerts and block parties. The converging disciplines of music, art, design, business, science and technology connect people and new ideas to the future.
Walton students, along with many other students from Albemarle County Public Schools will be presenting on Saturday from 12-3 at Lee Park about some of these futuristic ideas … come out and show your support for them, and see a lot of cool stuff while you’re there!
The Genius Hour Expo is a gathering of students who embody the maker ethos. Innovators of all ages come together to show off their best ideas, from Robotics to 3D printing. The Genius Hour Expo is like a science fair that spans all ages & interests, featuring experimentation across science, engineering, art, performance, and craft. Making these projects inspires students young and old to be the authors of their own educational careers and our future leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
