Ohio Strong Start in Science: Removing Barriers in STEM

A laboratory classroom with a group of female science students working. The classmates are discussing work, and debating ideas and opinions. This architecture is well designed and versatile, allowing for changing demands in this education space. There is a whiteboard with mathematic equations on it, behind the positive animated group. The women are of differing ethnicities.

Introductory science courses too often function as bottlenecks rather than gateways to high-demand STEM and health careers. Ohio Strong Start in Science seeks to transform introductory science courses to help more students succeed on their first attempt.
