The LET’S GROW STE(A)M initiative takes the routine school project from a normal synergized classroom setting to a much larger energized and informal audience. Students get the opportunity to present projects on the topics of robotics, engineering, and science/technology, and the arts. Additionally, Let’s Grow also partnered with community organizations such as Urban League of Greater Columbus, Columbus Parks and Recreations, Columbus State University, Columbus Technical College and Fountain City Classic.
The LET’S GROW STE(A)M initiative began in 2010 to reestablish the educational component of our community's fair; we have been growing ever since. In 2013, over 300 students registered and over 175 students submitted projects. The winners received prizes provided by Let’s Grow sponsors and were recognized at the Let’s Grow Awards ceremony. This year’s ceremony will take place on Wednesday, October 15th at 7:00pm at the Columbus Civic Center; admission to ceremony is free to public.
We are also pleased to announce the Let’s Grow platform has expanded to include the “So You Think You Can Dance” competition hosted by Reach for Your Dreamz, Tuesday, Oct 14th at 7:00pm and The Kid Entrepreneur Vending Expo hosted Wednesday, Oct 15th starting at 6p.m. by Crayons, Crafts and Kool-Kids.
