Our second Discovering the Scientist Within of 2021 was virtually held Saturday, June 12, from 9AM-1:45PM.
For those that participated in our kit raffle - activity recordings will be posted here as they are processed. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
Some activities are best done under adult supervision (e.g. working with rubbing alcohol). As such - by registering for the event, parents/guardians are agreeing to supervise all activities and virtual connection while their student participates in DSW at home. Please contact Emily Nicholson at [email protected] with specific questions and concerns.
Hear from current and former OSU students pursuing a degree to become another Woman in STEM! Ask questions, participate in polls - get involved!
Parent/Guardian SUPERVISION REQUIRED FOR ALL AT-HOME ACTIVITIES
Participants will be able to register for one of four activity pairs. Activities change yearly, but the pairs listed below are good examples of the types of activities you will find at DSW. (Activities listed are for DSW June 2021)
