Summer STEM

PORTSfuture Summer STEM Days events provided an engaging opportunity for regional youth to explore science techniques through hands-on activities to inspire their interest in STEM careers for the future. PORTSfuture staff and students engaged youths in Pike, Scioto, Ross, and Jackson counties in activities at public libraries in each county. These events were funded by the PORTSfuture Program and Ohio University’s Voinovich School grant from the American Electric Power (AEP) Ohio Foundation as part of the Foundation’s Growing STEM in Appalachia program. Events were planned and promoted in partnership with each county’s main branch public library.
