The University of Texas at Austin will host its 11th annual "Explore UT, The Biggest Open House in Texas!" from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 6.
More than 50,000 visitors are expected to participate in a day of free activities, performances, demonstrations and lectures. The Cockrell School of Engineering will be hosting a variety of hands-on activities, lectures, and displays. Visitors will see the latest in solar powered vehicles, learn about the reverse engineering of toys, find out how computers really work, and experience biomedical engineering and how engineering is involved in the making of artificial body parts.
At Explore UT, guests have the opportunity to explore every corner of the university's campus. With more than 400 programs offered for visitors of all ages, there is something of interest for everyone. This year's Explore UT offers the largest number of programs in its history.
"Explore UT is a chance for children of any age, and their families, to explore the excitement of UT and the promise of higher education," said College of Fine Arts Dean Douglas Dempster, this year's chair of Explore UT. "It's the biggest open house in Texas."
Explore UT is free and open to the public. No registration is required. The event will take place rain or shine. A list of activities, programs and lectures can be found online.
