The Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA) is working with PR capstone students to plan an event-based strategic communications campaign.
HSTA is hosting two free engineering and technology expos to raise awareness of the program’s educational benefits with help from West Virginia University seniors.
The first event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 16, at Huntington High School in Cabell County from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Local businesses will feature interactive booths showcasing different technology components. Demonstrations will include a 3D printer by Mountwest Community and Technical College, Google Glass by the WVU P.I. Reed School of Journalism, a human joystick experiment by the WVU Institute of Technology, and telescopes provided by the WVU Astronomy Club.
The second expo will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7, at Park Middle School in Raleigh County from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The setup of the event is similar to Cabell County’s expo. Interactive elements at this event will include a latent fingerprint lift demo provided by the West Virginia State Police and a Van de Graaf generator provided by the WVU Statler College of Engineering & Mineral Resources. HSTA students from Raleigh County clubs will also display their projects and will compete in an engineering competition. Superintendent for Raleigh County, Jim Brown, will speak at the event.
