I-66 EMP Funds Scholarships for 25 Students at Tech Adventure Camp

66 Express Operator Contributes $6,875 To Support FCPS’s Weekly Summer Enrichment Program

Fairfax, Va. June 2, 2025– At a check presentation held last month, I-66 Express Mobility Partners (I-66 EMP), the operator of the 66 Express Outside the Beltway, donated $6,875 to Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) to fund need-based scholarships for 25 students to attend Tech Adventure Camp (TAC) this summer.

It’s the second consecutive year that I-66 EMP has funded TAC scholarships. The roadway operator provided funding for 10 students to attend the summertime enrichment and exploratory program in 2024.

“We’re absolutely delighted that I-66 EMP is helping inspire more students again this summer,” said Dr. Lynette Henry, executive director for Educate Fairfax, the non-profit educational foundation for FCPS. “By funding these scholarships to our upcoming Tech Adventure Camp, they’re enabling 25 young people to discover new interests and achieve new goals.”

Open to students enrolled in public and private schools as well as home-schooling environments, Tech Adventure Camp is a weekly summer enrichment program that provides students in kindergarten through fifth grade opportunities to explore subjects like STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), art, health, business, marketing, technical trades, and more. In 2025, the weekly themes of Tech Adventure Camp are “Let’s Get Messy,” “Crazy Cool Careers,” and “Exploring the Enchanted.”

“Elementary school is an ideal time to introduce kids to these fascinating subjects,” said Nancy H. Smith, corporate affairs director for I-66 EMP. “We’re more than happy to again do our part and support the FCPS Tech Adventure Camp as it inspires young students to investigate interesting careers and learn what’s possible.”
