The NIH will host the 22nd Annual Take Your Child to Work Day (TYCTWD) on Thursday, April 28, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You are invited to bring your school-age child (grades 1 – 12) to NIH for a day of discovery and exploration at our nation’s biomedical research agency. Together, you and your children can choose from over 100 activities, from exploring NIH labs and technology, to being a hands-on genetic researcher, to learning about the day-to-day life of social workers, chemists, dieticians, peer reviewers and more.

Children in grades 6-12 will also be able to register to volunteer to help with activities and may be able to earn Student Service Learning (SSL) credit, if offered by your school or school district. Please check with your school’s SSL coordinator to find out if this volunteer opportunity meets your school’s requirements.

Pre-registration will open at noon on March 17, at which point parents may view available activities and enter their child or children’s information on the event registration website. Please look for a global e-mail in mid-March that will provide more information on pre- and full registration, including dates and instructions.
