The 2024 Ohio STEM Innovation Summit was more than a gathering; it was a vibrant celebration of the educators, leaders, and partners who are the heartbeat of Ohio’s STEM community.
Under the theme “Building Tomorrow Together,” more than 400 educators came together to connect and push the boundaries of what’s possible. This tremendous showing, with 25% more tickets sold than last year, showcased both the growing importance of STEM education in Ohio and the dedication of Ohio’s STEM educators to learning and doing more.
