At our STEAM Camp, participants designed ecosystems within plastic bottles. These miniature ecosystems illustrated the interconnectedness of fish, water, and plant life. Following the activity, each family brought home their new pet fish.

It was a day filled with joy and creativity with the women of Emmanuel as Lisa Marshall guided us through the beautiful art of bending candles. The ladies were enthusiastic as they assisted one another in perfecting this intricate art project. After bending our candles we added bold touches with hot colored wax. The finished products were magnificent.
In the final week of the 2025 MY-STARS Enrichment Camp, students participated in a capstone project called “Green Spaces for Great Places,” where they designed safe, inclusive, and eco-friendly public spaces for their communities. Working in teams, they developed creative plans complete with visual designs and features like gardens, recycling areas, and multilingual signs.
Today our STEAM CAMPERS embarked on an educational field trip to the Akron Zoo, where they encountered familiar animal friends and made some new ones. They gained valuable insight into the animals' habitats and dietary requirements.
