Run Fest proudly supports the UVA Innovation Hub at Charlottesville Middle School, a partnership between the UVA School of Education and Human Development, Charlottesville City Schools, and the UVA Center for Community Partnerships.
The Innovation Hub engages every CMS student in hands-on, interdisciplinary learning that blends technology, creativity, and community connection. Through projects that integrate computational thinking, design, coding, and real-world problem-solving, students learn to think like innovators and build the skills they need for the future.
From educational resources for students to fellowship stipends for teachers, every dollar helps expand opportunities and deepen learning across Charlottesville Middle School.
