Homeschooling STEM Club
In spring 2024, the Fralin Life Sciences Institute created a FLSI Homeschooling STEM Club based on the success of partnering with the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library to deliver hands-on science programming to their homeschooling club. If you are interested in being involved with our Homeschooling STEM Club, please contact Kristy Collins, director of education and outreach for the Fralin Life Sciences Institute.
The club meets one Friday a month to explore various life science topics.
The 2025 Spring Club meeting dates include:
Jan. 31st- 10 am- Noon, Activity planned: Dissecting Worms, Fralin Hall Lab 001

Parents/guardians are required to attend with their child(ren). The activity is free however, parents will need to pay for parking on campus. To purchase a parking pass on campus you can download the app or stop by parking services to get a parking pass.
We are interested in forming parternships with homeschooling groups and co-ops. If you are interested in scheduling a tour of Steger Hall, participating in a hands on activity on the Virginia Tech Blacksburg campus, or having us come out to your group contact, please contact Kristy Collins.
