About Innovation Campus and K-12 initiatives
In Alexandria and beyond, the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus is dedicated to inspiring, motivating, and preparing K-12 students for technology-related careers. We believe that all children, starting in elementary school, should have access to the computer science and STEM content and skills they need to succeed in a global society. Through cross-sector partnerships, we are working to transform K-12 education.
The first academic building at the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, opening in January 2025 in the Potomac Yard neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, will have designated space for K-12 initiatives. Learn more about our campus and construction.
