Subject

Description

In the early 2000s, the Virginia Piedmont Technology Council (VPTC) sponsored an annual Tech Tour for area high school students interested in technology-related careers. Local companies and technology centers like the NRAO CDL volunteered to host students for hour long discussions on various topics and careers - VPTC organized the visits and provided transportation for the students.
