DUBLIN, Ohio — The Ohio Academy of Science selected 45 Ohio schools and 544 teachers to receive The Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in STEM Education and Student Research for their accomplishments during the 2021-2022 school year. Each school will receive a special Governor’s Award certificate, and each teacher will receive a complimentary membership to The Ohio Academy of Science.
First established in 1985, the Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards recognizes Ohio schools and teachers who stimulate scientific student research and technological design and extend experiential opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. “These schools and teachers are connecting classrooms to the real world by demonstrating the relevance of STEM”, said Michael E. Woytek, the Academy’s Executive Director. Woytek went on to say, “They are developing a group of active and intrinsic learners.”
The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with The Office of The Governor and The Technology Division of The Ohio Development Services Agency to recognize schools and teachers for excellence in STEM education and scientific student research.
