Columbus City Schools teachers join STEAMM summer camp at Ohio State

A tour of Orton Museum views the dinosaur skeleton

Dozens of Columbus City Schools teachers started a recent warm summer morning on the campus of The Ohio State University, walking into historic Orton Hall and past the skeleton of the giant theropod dinosaur Cryolophosaurus.

The visit to Orton Hall was a day-long immersion into geology, paleontology and earth sciences. And it was one day in a week for the teachers and administrators at the STEAMM Rising Summer Institute. The institute is an opportunity for Columbus City teachers to experience a variety of STEAMM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics and medicine) activities on campus and to create a plan for taking those activities and skills back to their classrooms and schools.
