Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) and National Energy Education Development (NEED) Hosted a Teacher’s Day at the VNG Headquarters
National Energy Education Development (NEED) teacher’s day took place this fall. Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) hosted a fun day with more than 30 schoolteachers here at the VNG headquarters in Virginia Beach. We provided them with experiences and lesson plans aligned with state guidelines that ultimately empower students to explore opportunities in STEM fields and gain exposure to the energy industry.
We have high hopes this growing partnership will enable us to foster greater understanding of the importance of an all-of-the-above energy strategy and natural gas’s role in the energy transition.
VNG takes great pride in investing in programs that enrich our communities for future generations. This partnership with NEED supports that initiative and demonstrates our total commitment to invest in and improve the areas where we live, work and play.
This event precedes a student workshop coming in February, which will provide hands-on STEM activities and access to unique STEM experiences at the Virginia Natural Gas office. Through a $50,000 gift from Virginia Natural Gas, we will reach about 35 teachers and over 3,000 students. This Virginia Energy Workshop will be offered to 6th through 8th grade students and will allow them to get hands-on energy exploration through some different and fun activities.
