5th & 6th Grade Girls Take the Lead in STEM Learning at University of Cincinnati
MTHCS 5th and 6th grade girls proudly participated in Girls in STEM Day at the University of Cincinnati, encouraging their interest in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Hosted by UC and sponsored by Turner Construction, P&G, Pilot Chemical Company, and the Greater STEM Collaborative, the event welcomed 30 enthusiastic 5th and 6th grade girls from North and South Elementary.
Accompanied by staff members Ms. Tubbs and Mrs. Haffner, our students engaged in a range of interactive sessions designed to inspire and educate. These included:
Bath Bomb Creation: With guidance from P&G volunteers, students had a hands-on experience in crafting bath bombs, sparking their curiosity in chemistry and product design.
Building a Wall Project: Turner Construction engineers led a session where students learned about the intricacies of construction, from insulation to wiring, plumbing, and aesthetics.
IT Wire Circuit Workshop: UC’s IT program facilitated a workshop where students created an Information Technology wire circuit. This program also offers opportunities for high school students to earn certifications and college credits while still in high school, thanks to Mr. White’s teaching.
Through these experiences, our young learners gained valuable insights into various STEM disciplines, encouraging their passion and interest in pursuing future careers in these fields. Thank you to UC, staff volunteers, and all sponsors for making this event possible.
