Find -Never Underestimate A Man Who Serves In The Us Navy Poster, Canvas

COLUMBUS – Interested in experiencing the COSI sensory playground virtually through the 360-degree lens of a 9-year-old? Want to learn how to conduct a field trip around the world through the use of virtual reality? Have you ever wondered how to make your own lava lamp? A new website offered by the Ohio 4-H STEM program can show you all that and more. The Ohio 4-H STEM blog provides youths, teachers, youth development professionals, volunteers, and parents with hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math ideas that are applicable to students of all ages. The blog, which is organized by subject areas and categorized by grades K–12, offers engaging STEM programming that promotes and excites exploration and learning, said Mark Light, an Ohio 4-H youth development educator with Ohio State University Extension. Light also leads the 4-H STEM Design Team. Ohio 4-H, the youth development arm of OSU Extension, offers 4-H programs to youth in all 88 of Ohio’s counties. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). As America’s largest youth development organization, Ohio 4-H, which served 171,983 students in 4-H clubs in all Ohio counties last year, emphasizes leadership and citizenship skills. Ohio youth, ages 5–19, participate in 4-H through community clubs, camps, schools, and short-term experiences. Light said the blog, which was started in March, was originally designed to demonstrate that 4-H offers STEM-based education statewide, and is available to all Ohio students, parents, and families. However, when schools and organizations were closed in the spring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the blog became a nationwide resource for students and families seeking additional educational resources as they worked through homeschooling.
