We had a blast across three different locations during the month of June for our Summer Programs! Students got to be Bold at the PAST Innovation Lab, Curious at Mezzacello and KIPP Columbus and were Fearless out at CAS. Throughout the month, students dove into 3D Printing, Robotics, Agriculture, and the arts through various summer camps. We will be closed next week for the Fourth of July to give our staff and students a break! We can’t wait to see what students get to explore in July! #ThisIsPAST

We had a fantastic time at the Columbus Air Show! The #STEM exhibitor tent was buzzing with activities as future pilots, engineers, and coders joined us for hands-on fun. The Ozobots stole the show! Watching kids faces light up as they programmed these tiny robots was pure joy. We challenged them to guide their Ozobots through various "runways" and "taxiways" while learning aviation terminology along the way. A huge thanks to the Columbus Air Show for hosting us and sparking so many young minds. We're excited to continue fostering STEM dreams and passions. 🚀
