Event Overview
Thinking Big 2026 is designed to immerse high school students in the world of STEM and sustainability. Scheduled for October 5, 2026, at the Dewey Gottwald Center in Richmond, VA, this event will run from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The event aims to connect students with industry professionals through interactive workshops and hands-on activities, fostering a deeper understanding of how sustainability impacts various sectors, including energy, agriculture, and technology. Participants will engage in speed networking sessions, allowing them to build relationships with local universities and corporations, which can significantly influence their future career paths.
The overarching goal of the Thinking Big program is to create a pipeline of young talent ready for careers in sustainability and STEM fields. With Virginia's clean energy sector rapidly expanding, students will learn about the growing demand for skilled workers in renewable energy and sustainable practices. This initiative not only prepares students for future careers but also contributes to the economic development of the Greater Richmond area.
