Thanks to the children and parents who participated in the "What Did You Learn at NIH?" poster session. We have some very creative and artistic future "NIHers."
Thank you for supporting this year's NIH Take Your Child to Work Day! |
Take
Your Child to Work Day
is a popular event at NIH. Take a look at some of this
year's activities.
You're invited to take your child to work on April 27, 2000--9 am-4 pm--to experience some of the many careers represented in the NIH community. The program is designed to introduce children to the world of biomedical research and to the wide array of skills and services needed to support it. A day at work will help your child discover the link between what they do in school and success in the real world.
They
will have an opportunity to witness first-hand the vital public services
that you and your co-workers provide each day. In addition, there will
be many hands-on workshops and demonstrations scheduled to show them what
others may be doing here at NIH. We hope that this event will inspire
your child, open their eyes to new possibilities, and encourage future
careers in science.
