Join us on Sunday, February 15th from 1 p.m.-4 p.m., as you step inside Central Tech for an afternoon of hands-on fun and discovery. This free event happens on both campuses and is packed with activities for all ages.
Get ready to see how Central Tech uses the latest technology to prepare students for high-demand careers. You can explore classrooms, meet instructors, and experience live demonstrations and hands-on activities that bring learning to life.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE OPEN HOUSE
This isn’t just a walkthrough; it’s an experience! Try virtual welding, join an Esports game, or check your blood sugar for free. With more than 70 activities, live demonstrations, and even a car show on the Drumright campus, there is something for you. Enjoy free pop and popcorn while supplies last! Plus, don’t miss your chance to win our grand prize, a potting bench built by Construction students, at both campuses! Be sure to register when you arrive.
