SERVING OUR COMMUNITY!

STEM is a big part of what we do, but service and giving back matter too!

During the month of September, members of our Martinsville/Henry County NSBE Jr. Chapter had the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and volunteer at two wonderful community events.

September 12 – Eastman Family Day
Several of our chapter members volunteered their time to help support the Eastman Family Day festivities.

September 19 – DLM Community Day Giveaway
The following week, more of our chapter members volunteered at the DLM Community Day Giveaway, helping serve and support families in our community.

We are proud to give our young people opportunities that go beyond STEM. Leadership also means learning how to serve, give back, and make a positive impact in the community around you.

A huge THANK YOU to our students, families, and everyone who gave their time to serve! 👏🏾❤️

STEM, Teamwork & FUN at Virginia Tech!

Our Martinsville/Henry County NSBE Jr. Chapter and friends had an amazing time during our PCI (Pre-College Initiative) trip to Virginia Tech!

Our students had the opportunity to learn, explore, create, and put their problem-solving skills to the test!

Shake, Rattle & Learn!
Students learned how a seismograph works and even built their own to demonstrate and measure different sizes of earthquakes. Talk about putting science into action!

The Floor Is Lava!
This activity challenged our students to THINK! Using only limited materials, they had to figure out a creative way to move a marble from one side of the room to the other without touching the floor. It took teamwork, patience, creativity, and a little trial and error—but that’s what engineering is all about!

Building & Creating!
Students also visited woodworking and building workshops, where they were introduced to different tools, techniques, and ways materials can be used to create wood art, designs, and other projects.

One of the best parts was watching our students think outside the box, work together, ask questions, and have FUN while learning. Experiences like this remind them that STEM is more than something they read about—it’s something they can build, create, explore, and DO!

We’re thankful for a fun-filled day, new experiences, and safe travels to and from Virginia Tech.

Keep learning. Keep creating. Keep pushing the limits!
