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.
Read the complete press release from Battelle with reflections from Senior Vice President of Philanthropy & Education Wes Hall and Ohio STEM Learning Network Director Kelly Gaier Evans. Battelle manages the Ohio STEM Learning Network in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce. Steve Dackin, Director of the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce, addressed the audience with a call to understand the growing need for STEM skills in future jobs.
The summit also featured enriching learning sessions, a compelling keynote speech by Dr. Knatokie Ford, and the recognition of outstanding contributions to STEM education through the STEM Excellence Awards.
