Movie

During the Round 2 competitive events will be hosting three events in the Ballrooms for students who may not be competing in Round 2 and for those who finish their competitions. These events include a "How to get into college and financial aid panel"; the finals of the Anatomage competition, and presentation of a movie -- Contagion. The Union Station Ballrooms will provide a safe place for your students who are not competing or attending workshops. This will allow you to help conduct the competitive events without fear of your student's safety.
