1. Expanding Our Reach: OH WOW! is determined to reach every corner of our community. Our 2024 plan significantly expands in-school and after-school STEM enrichment, STEM Camps, and more. We aim to make STEM accessible to every child in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

2. Empowering the Next Generation: We're thrilled to announce the opening of our second floor, featuring a Mixed Reality Classroom, 3D Printing and Advanced Manufacturing Microlearning Lab, Microelectronics and Robotics Lab, and a Digital Collaboration Lab. These state-of-the-art facilities will create innovative learning spaces for the next generation of STEM enthusiasts.

3. Engaging Our Donors: To achieve our vision, we are launching two exciting giving programs and more to create opportunities to share with our donors while offering remarkable benefits to our valued supporters. The Inspire Club and Corporate Membership Program will give individuals and companies a new way to enjoy all that OH WOW! offers while providing critical support to our impactful programs.

We are at a critical juncture, and our community's future is at stake. The Mahoning Valley can't take the next step into the future without a thriving OH WOW! that serves more youth and provides access to high-quality STEM education.

We invite you on this transformational journey; let's make STEM education accessible, engaging, and transformative for every child in our community.
