STEM Steps is an enriching and exciting day filled with hands-on activities in various STEM fields to encourage and stimulate an interest in science. Designed for high school sophomores and juniors, including those who have not had significant exposure to careers in STEM fields, we welcome budding scientists, future engineers and the next generation of coders to campus to learn about and experience first-hand STEM-based curriculum and careers.
"The goal of the day is to empower young people to achieve success in STEM fields by instilling self-confidence and a can-do attitude," said Dr. Swathi Mohan, a lecturer in Chemistry. "Students will also learn the role of STEM fields and see how they can impact the world with STEM education.
Ohio State Lima faculty members lead the students in hands-on activities within all the STEM areas on campus, including Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics and Physics.
