AfroSTEM Ohio Go Program

Current Offer: COSI FAMILY MEMBERSHIP (valued up to $227)

We recognize the importance of exposing youth and families to STEAM.

Focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics—is vital for equipping youth with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly technological world. By fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, STEAM prepares young people for high-demand careers, empowers them to address real-world challenges, and drives innovation in their communities. Investing in STEAM education today is an investment in a brighter, more equitable future for all.
