Summer STEAM Camps Spark Curiosity
This summer, Dr. Mari Thomas collaborated with several of our schools to host two STEAM Camps. In total, we welcomed 32 campers across two camps, with six days of engaging, industry-specific programming. Attached are two photo collages that capture some of the vibrant highlights.
An overview of the daily themes and activities:
Day 1 – Breakerspace / Take-Apart Lab – Construction & Advanced Manufacturing
Partners: Allied Construction Industries, Turner Construction, Messer Construction, ToolBANK
- Stretch & flex obstacle course with Allied Construction
- Turner Construction “Tetris” overview of the industry
- Painting & assembling benches with ToolBANK
- Career connections and hands-on experiences
Day 2 – The Makings of a Successful Surgery – Healthcare
Partners: UC Area Health Education Center, UC Health, Cincinnati Fire Department (CFD)
- Suturing workshop and dissection with UC Health

Day 3 – Technology: Friend or Foe? – Drone Technology
Partners: Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative, INTERalliance, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
