Using scientific method and OSC resources, they will work in small groups to solve real, complex science and engineering problems. On the last day of SI, students will formally present their results to an audience including family members, legislators and OSC guests. And SI is not just for students. During the past few years, OSC has invited Ohio high school teachers to participate along side the students. SI is a great opportunity for teachers and students to work collaboratively in a challenging environment.
Teachers even receive college credit for their participation.
OSC's SI has been an invaluable alternative learning experience for more than 100 Ohio students since 1989. Many students agree that the technical and interpersonal skills gained from SI laid the foundation for their educational and professional successes.
