Schnabel Engineering’s Post

We’re proud of the work our teams do in the field — and just as proud of the work they do in the classroom. Recently, Emily Seamster, Senior Staff Scientist in our Richmond office, visited a fifth‑grade class in the Hanover Public School District in Hanover County, VA, to bring geology and Earth science to life. From rock and soil types to aquifers, PPE, and environmental sampling, Emily gave students a hands‑on look at the science behind the world beneath their feet. “If I can leave with even one student excited about becoming a geologist, environmental scientist, or engineer, that’s a win for me,” Emily shared. “We need this next generation of professionals to have passion and purpose for their work, and I believe that seed gets planted early in life.” Talent Acquisition Partner Emily Bicking, whose son is in the class, joined the visit and provided shaded eye protection and Schnabel tote bags for each student. The class was fully engaged – asking thoughtful questions, examining soil samples, and even wondering how our work might support future life on Mars. Highlighting STEM roles in the classroom is one of the most meaningful ways we can invest in future scientists while living our values.
