Volunteer Opportunity
Are you interested in helping elementary students understand science by engaging them in hands-on activities? Then Scientific Thinkers is for you! The Scientific Thinkers program is designed to bring scientists into the 1st - 5th grade classrooms at Innis Elementary, a Columbus public school. The Scientific Thinkers program sends scientist volunteers out to the school every other week during the school year to teach an inquiry based lesson (the lessons will be available prior to going to the classroom).
Kick – Off Event with OSU EES and FLOW!
The 5th Ave low-head dam was removed from the Olentangy River last summer, and the lower water levels have revealed a lot of trash and debris. OSU’s Ecological Engineering Society and the Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed have helped clean up the debris. The last clean up in November (on the west bank) removed over 40 tires, 15 shopping cars, a bike, and dozens of bags of trash.
Join them this Saturday (8/24) to clean up the Olentangy River at Tuttle Park at 9 a.m. Registration will be located at the Rec Center just north of the ball fields.
New Semester, New Look
As the faculty, staff, and students gear up for the start of a new school year, the department is putting the finishing touches on a few updates and projects in the Ag Engineering Building. The Columbus Campus Ag Engineering Building has been going through a mini-makeover for the past several months, and we are excited to welcome students back to campus with cleaner spaces and newly painted classrooms. The building will continue to be spruced up with new technology and updated classroom and offices space throughout the next year.

Aquaponics project combines learning, innovation, and community service in Honduras
Aquaponics is a technique for sustainable food production that utilizes the combination of aquaculture with hydroponics to grow fish and vegetables without soil. It offers an affordable and sustainable system that families and communities can use to supplement their diets with fresh, inexpensive fish and vegetables. Andrew Stratton, an undergraduate student in our department spent the 2012-2013 school year building a prototype aquaponics system and planning its implementation in Honduras.
