Meeting Governor Youngkin
Honored to share our Fueling Young Minds Initiative with Governor Youngkin, highlighting the power of education, innovation, and opportunity across Virginia.
Our Book
Our Fueling Young Minds book is available in both Spanish and English and designed to be interactive, allowing parents and children to learn and engage together.
It introduces young readers to energy, safety, and STEM careers in a fun, accessible way, building early curiosity about how technology and fuel power our world.
Proud to share this initiative and its impact with Governor Youngkin as part of Virginia’s broader commitment to education, innovation, and workforce development.
Our Impact
Representation Matters
- Underserved youth now see themselves in STEM stories and activities
- Message reinforced: When children see someone who looks like them in STEM and energy, they know their own dreams are possible.
Reaching Underserved Communities
- 3 STEM Days hosted in 2025 (June, September, and December)
- Partnered with small schools in underdeveloped areas, including Spanish-speaking communities
- First bilingual English/Spanish STEM children’s book in circulation
Inspiring Literacy + STEM
- 75 children introduced to STEM concepts through bilingual read-aloud sessions, with 150+ projected by year’s end after our upcoming community event
- QR read-aloud codes engaged both parents and children together at home
- Teachers reported that children showed greater curiosity about science and technology after participating
