Today’s hands-on learning can lead to tomorrow’s career! 🔬
This week, we joined OhioHealth and Ohio Life Sciences Association at Cambridge Middle School, where approximately 140 eighth-grade students got a closer look at the careers that help keep patients healthy!

Students stepped into the action by taking on challenges inspired by real healthcare work: racing to measure heart rates, investigating how infections spread, practicing precision & teamwork in a simulated operating room. 👩‍⚕️💓 Along the way, they met real professionals and explored the many roles involved in a patient's care, including careers they may not have known existed.

When students can see themselves doing the work, ask questions of the people doing it, and try out the skills for themselves, a future career can start to feel a little more possible.

Thank you to OhioHealth, Ohio Life Sciences, and Cambridge Middle School for helping students connect what they’re learning today with where it could take them tomorrow!

Lighting doesn't just help you see what's happening. It helps you feel it. 🤩💡🎬

Just like in live-action films, Pixar artists use virtual lighting to create mood, guide your eyes to the most important moments, and make every scene feel believable. A simple change in lighting can completely transform the same animated world. Step behind the scenes and see how light helps bring every story to life!

Exhibit tickets for The Science Behind Pixar are 50% off now through August 31! 🍿 💫 cosi.org/pixar
