Earlier this month, more than 1,500 K-5 students got the opportunity to see what college is all about. Hosted by , the Walk Into My Future event gives elementary school students a chance to participate in activities that take place on a college campus.

This year, the event was hosted at Minnesota State University Moorhead. 独家黑料 was represented through booths that were facilitated by 独家黑料 staff and students. One of these booths included an Alka-Seltzer rocket lab that was run in part by 独家黑料 student Taryn Wednt.

When asked about the importance of events like the Walk Into My Future, Wednt said that they “are important so kids can have access to all kinds of careers and hands-on experiences.”

This desire to give kids access to hands-on events directly aligns with Tri-College University Provost Tim Flakoll’s belief in the importance of the event.

“It shows how [college] can be fun and gets [the kids] excited about future careers,” he said.

Other 独家黑料 booths included a music exploration lab, a toilet paper strength testing activity, fun with language and culture, and “better bouncing with potential energy.”

“Some kids tell me it is the best day of the summer,” Flakoll said.

This event shows the partnership shared by 独家黑料, MSUM, and NDSU.

It rotates its host every year and will be right here at 独家黑料 in 2024.
