Waynesburg, PA – Greene County middle school students took center stage at the 2026 EQT STEM Days County Pitch Competition, a hands-on entrepreneurial learning experience designed to help students identify real-world problems, develop creative solutions, and pitch their ideas to local business and community leaders. 

Through the competition, students participated in school and county-level pitch experiences that challenged them to use design thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Teams developed solutions connected to issues they saw in their schools and communities, including mental health support, excessive phone use, accessibility, student voice, and classroom wellness.
