How We Do Our Work
Creating a STEM talent pipeline that is representative of the Greater Cincinnati region takes a village. GCSC has developed our own at-school, after school programs focused on hands-on STEM experiences. We also amplify STEM efforts, events and programs of partners, and collaborate with other organizations to create or bring STEM experiences to Greater Cincinnati.
How We Organize
GCSC pursues and leverages diversity to stimulate innovative thinking and creative solutions. Leadership team, staff, and Advisory Board members combine education, nonprofit, government, and business expertise & perspective for the good of the Greater Cincinnati STEM. Together with partners across the community we maximize GCSC’s reach and positive impacts for students.
