Northern's 7th Annual TekNoXpo set for April 23

Press release

TekNoXpo, Montana State University-Northern’s seventh annual Technology-Knowledge-Exposition, will begin Thursday, April 23.

TekNoXpo is an opportunity for Montana high school students to explore their educational and career opportunities through MSU-Northern’s College of Technical Sciences. 

Northern’s educational tracks include agriculture, automotive technology, welding and civil engineering, plumbing, electrical and diesel.  Northern has added an additional facet to this year’s TekNoXpo — nursing. Students interested in the nursing field will have the opportunity to tour the nursing department, take part in patient care interactive demonstrations and visit with the nursing faculty.

  The yearly Big Equipment Rodeo is always one of the highlights of this event. It includes skid steer racing, backhoe basketball and the excavator simulator event. This specific portion of the TekNoXpo is made possible by donors who provide the machinery for the yearly event.

Pre-registration will open at the end of March on Northern’s website: http://www.msun.edu.

For more information, call Northern’s Big Sky Pathways Program Director Holly Haas at 265-3723. 

This event is meant to intensify students’ interest in the trades and showcase Northern’s technology programs. 

TekNoXpo offers an experience like no other, with hands-on learning and personal guidance into growing career fields. People who know students who are excelling in the technical sciences should send them to the TekNoXpo.
