CEM’s annual outreach event, Science Day, at Innis Elementary School is full of hands-on science demos and experiments. OSU undergraduate and graduate STEM students will serve as a lab scientists and will walk groups of students through various experiments throughout the day.
Science Day is organized by Scientific Thinkers, a partnership between the Center for Emergent Materials (CEM) at OSU and Columbus Elementary Schools. Through the Scientific Thinkers™ program, undergraduate and graduate students from OSU STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) departments work with the first through fifth-grade science and mathematics teachers at the elementary schools to develop and teach inquiry-based science lessons to first through fifth-grade students.
