Math & Science Club

As members of OSU's Math & Science Club, students in grades 4 through 12 engage in hands-on activities and learn about the world and wonders of math and science. The Math & Science Club is a partnership between The OSU Medical Center and the Community Extension Center. Students are shown in activities preparing bottle rockets for launching, eating cotton candy which they created and crafting kaleidoscopes.

Summer Residential Program

The week-long Summer Residential Program is designed to provide rising high school juniors and seniors with both an appreciation for and understanding of African American cultural and historical study. During the summer of 2007, students engaged in a focused study of the remarkable achievements of African American writers, dancers, painters, actors and musicians that forever changed American pop culture. As a learning activity, students visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.

See how they ROCKED!
