Tech or Treat is similar to trunk or treat. STEM-related clubs and teams from around the area will set up booths in the Oak Ridge High School Cafeteria and hand out candy to community trick-or-treaters. There will even be special guests from technology research companies in the area, a press release said.

The whole community is invited to dress up, trick-or-treat, and play fun Halloween-themed games as well as learns about STEM education here in Oak Ridge. The event will be held at the high school on Friday, Nov. 1, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
