You may select a 2nd limited space activity in person during early sign-in staring on Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Please refer to the Sign-In and Pick-up Information Schedule.

Due to potential severe weather predicted for Thursday, April 28, THE FOLLOWING SESSIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELED: "NATURE WALK" 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Goal

You are invited to bring your 5-15 year old child to work on Thursday, April 28, 2011 from 9 AM to 4 PM, to experience some of the many careers represented in the NIH community. The program is designed to introduce them 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 now in school and what they can become in the future. 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 other groups are 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.
