We are proud to see TECHnista’s work in Southern Virginia recognized on a national stage as part of the BuildFreedom.US campaign.
Through our MEERA Middle School and High School programs, we’re helping students gain early, hands-on exposure to advanced manufacturing and skilled trades. The goal is bigger than introducing students to manufacturing and technology. It’s about helping young people see themselves in the workforce of the future, build foundational skills early, and create stronger connections between K–12 education, post-secondary training and industry.
As Build Freedom expands nationally, TECHnista is helping create the framework and resources needed to strengthen that pipeline across communities.
We’re incredibly proud of the educators, students, school divisions, industry partners and communities helping make this work possible. The future of American manufacturing starts in our classrooms.
