TVCOG 2026 Annual Awards Dinner

Annual awards dinner for Tech Valley Center of Gravity.

Tech Valley Center of Gravity -- where ideas become something real.

Tech Valley Center of Gravity (TVCOG) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit makerspace, manufacturing incubator, and STEAM education center in the heart of Troy, NY.

Our 15,000-square-foot facility is home to a vibrant community of makers, artists, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, students, and families who believe in the power of learning by doing. Through hands-on STEAM education, access to professional tools and equipment, entrepreneurship support, workforce development, and community programs, TVCOG gives people the space, resources, and support to explore ideas, develop new skills, and bring their creations to life.

From inspiring young people to discover a passion for engineering and technology to helping entrepreneurs turn innovative ideas into real-world products and businesses, TVCOG is creating opportunities that strengthen our community and fuel the next generation of makers and innovators.

Your participation in this silent auction helps make that work possible. Every bid and every contribution helps us expand educational opportunities, support our programs, maintain the tools and equipment our community relies on, and make hands-on learning and innovation more accessible to the people we serve.

When you bid on an auction item, you're doing more than taking home something you love. You're investing in creativity, opportunity, ingenuity, and the next generation of people who will build, create, and innovate right here in the Capital Region.

Together, we're building a stronger, more creative, and more innovative community—one project, one idea, and one maker at a time.
