IACMI is inviting local area high school robotics students to an event aimed at answering the question "What are Composites?". Thursday, April 21st from 6-9pm, First Robotics Students will have the opportunity to hear from UT Governor’s Chair in Advanced Composites Manufacturing Professor, Dr. Uday Vaidya and gain expertise working alongside his University of Tennessee students during multiple hands-on training sessions.

Pizza dinner will be provided for attendees. View detailed agenda.

Registration deadline has been extended to April 20th for US Citizens. If you are a foreign national, unfortunately, we cannot grant access to ORNL buildings this week.

Due to safety requirements for the facility, all visitors are required to wear closed toe shoes and long pants. Safety glasses will be provided by the facility.
