The Ohio STEM Learning Network is excited to announce our fall school tours, a statewide tour of exceptional STEM and STEAM schools hosted by our seven regional hubs.
From early elementary classrooms to high school labs, these tours provide educators, administrators, and community partners with an opportunity to see innovative STEM education in action, explore project-based and hands-on learning, and learn how schools integrate industry partnerships and real-world experiences into their curriculum.
Each school offers a unique lens on STEM education, whether it’s integrating creative arts with engineering, building career pathways for high school students, or connecting agricultural education to science and technology. Bring your questions, curiosity, and a desire to rethink how STEM learning can happen in your community.
