SUMMARY:From Vision to Evidence: A Deep Dive into Ohio’s STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric and Ohio Quality Model - A Three Part Webinar Series with the Central OH STEM Hub
DESCRIPTION:Join the PAST Foundation\, the Central Ohio STEM Hub for the Ohio STEM Learning Network\, as we embark on a three part webinar series to dive deeper into understanding the Ohio’s STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric and the Ohio Quality Model for STEM/STEAM Education. Participants will gain a better understanding of the expectations\, interpret the rubric language\, and can then build an internal improvement process that leads toward designation or redesignation. \nThis series will be organized into three parts:\nPart 1: Understanding the Ohio STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric.\nPart 2: Using the Ohio Quality Model for STEM/STEAM to strengthen practice.\nPart 3: Turning evidence into a designation-ready action plan. \nWho:\nThis series is best suited for principals\, assistant principals\, teacher leaders\, district STEM coordinators\, curriculum directors\, and school design teams. It will also be helpful for schools exploring first-time designation and those preparing for redesignation. \nWhen & Where:\nThis three-part series will take place on Wednesdays from 4pm-5pm starting Wednesday\, May 13\, 2026. Once registered\, you will receive a zoom link and calendar invitation to attend. You may choose to attend all three parts of the series but attending one or two is also acceptable for participants. \nWebinar Series Dates:\nPart 1 – Wednesday\, May 13\, 2026; 4PM-5PM\nPart 2 – Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026; 4PM-5PM\nPart 3 – Wednesday\, May 27\, 2026; 4PM-5PM

SUMMARY:ASM Materials Camp-Teachers
DESCRIPTION:This week-long\, hands-on lab experience shows educators how to use applied engineering techniques in their classroom. ASM Materials Camp®-Teachers is an idea-generating workshop introducing teachers to methods that make math and core science principles more enticing and relevant to their middle and high school students. Materials topics are great motivators in any engineering\, technology or science course as students learn concepts that are reflected in their everyday lives. \nA $1\,250 value\, the camp is FREE for attendees. Participants are eligible to receive four (4) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and can opt for two (2) graduate level credits. (NOTE! Option for graduate credits is not available for Virtual Materials Camps.) \nEducators work hands-on with metals\, ceramics\, polymers\, and composites\, and develop a greater appreciation for the importance of these materials in modern life. Teachers Camp is a proven program that strengthens the curriculum in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Post-camp evaluations reveal that 97% of participants will incorporate the experiments and concepts learned in their classrooms.

SUMMARY:SAE Mini Baja
DESCRIPTION:SAE International is hosting their 2026 Mini Baja event at Briarcliff Motorsports Park in Nashport\, OH on Sept. 26. High school teachers from around the state are invited to assemble a team of students to design and fabricate a 4X4 off-road RC vehicle using digital design\, 3D printing\, and some off-the-shelf parts to participate in the High School Class of this event. High school students will also have the opportunity throughout the day to engage with several university teams that are participating in the Baja SAE program\, where college engineering students design and build full-size off-road vehicles that are put to the test in a dynamic validation event on the grueling course at Briarcliff. This is a great opportunity for students to see a potential path for them as they make plans after HS graduation. There is a registration fee for each team of up to 12 students which covers the cost of lunch and dinner for the students and teachers. If you are looking for something to truly excite your students about engineering and advanced manufacturing\, this is the program!
