Intermediate Unit 1 Innovation Showcase 2023

Join schools and partners from around southwestern PA and northern WV as they showcase their success!

Intermediate Unit 1 (IU1) invites you to join IU1, schools, and partners from around Southwestern Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia on October 4, 2023 from 10AM to 1PM at West Virginia University’s Erickson Alumni Center as they showcase their Innovation Grant success at the Annual Innovation Showcase! 

The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, EQT Foundation, and the Equitrans Midstream Foundation have awarded over 100 grants since 2019 to southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia classrooms to expand and support cutting-edge education. The grants seek to encourage school districts, primarily in rural communities, to develop engaging programs and curriculum with innovation and design serving as the driving force behind science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics education.

Stop in to explore, learn, and connect with local educational organizations, teachers, and students on how they got a jump start in innovation through the Innovation Grants. Projects cover a wide variety of topics including sustainable agriculture, energy sources, digital design/fabrication, computer science, robotics, math, anatomy, arts and so much more!
