Checking in: The EXPO team and volunteers will be checking in schools on Friday morning. Tickets will be required for admittance to EXPO. Teachers and chaperones will receive maps and directions on where to take their students.
Lunches: The EXPO team is unable to provide lunch storage space. We will have space out on the Engineering Mall Lawn that will have a tent where you can set your lunches. The EXPO team is not responsible for the security of the lunches. If possible, we recommend students bring their lunches in a drawstring backpack.
Injuries and lost students: The EXPO team has a medical table in front of Engineering Hall, where certified students will have first aid kits to tend to any minor injuries. Due to the volume of students at EXPO, we have set up a lost student table as part of the medical table. All EXPO team members will work together if a student is lost from their group or can not be accounted for. Teachers/chaperones should check the lost student table first if they realize they are missing a student in their group.
This year our EXPO is focused on 6th to 8th graders.
Day 1: Friday, April 19th from 9 am to 2 pm – Reserved for schools

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a cost to attend EXPO?
A: There is no cost to attend! We look to build a fun cultivating event for students! The only “cost” is we require schools to provide their own transportation and bring their own lunches for students.
Q: What time does EXPO start and end?
A: EXPO will start at 9AM but schools may arrive at any time afterwards. However, there is a strict departure time at 2PM.
Q: How will COVID-19 precautions work during EXPO?
A: All students and faculty visiting campus must follow COVID-19 campus guidelines. This information will be included in the Campus Visit Agreement (CVA) Form. Our schools chair will reach out to confirmed schools with more information about this form a few months before EXPO.
If a student or faculty member is not feeling well, please do not bring them to campus.
Q: How many chaperons can we send?
A: The number of chaperons required will depend on the number of students coming from your school. This information will also be available on the Campus Visit Agreement, which will be sent soon.
Q: Where should buses park?
A: For those familiar with campus, buses may drop off students on North Breese Terrace just behind the Engineering campus. As for parking, we will send out an email closer to the event of recommended spots to park the bus. However, there will be no available bus parking on campus.
Q: Will there be a place for us to keep our lunches?
A: There will be a spot to store lunches underneath an outdoor tent. However, this spot will not be monitored throughout the day. We recommend that you put all of your students’ lunches in a bin labeled with your school’s name to make it easier to find them during your lunch period.
Q: Who should I contact in a last-minute cancellation for my school?
A: It would be best to contact schools@engineeringexpo.wisc.edu about your circumstances so we are not concerned about a missing school.
Please contact schools@engineeringexpo.wisc.edu if you have any questions.
EXPO is open to the public for free on Saturday, April 22nd and registration is not required!
