PEWS regularly welcomes groups from local K-12 schools to the University of Cincinnati’s main campus. We are excited to help facilitate connections between K-12 schools and researchers at UC interested in outreach in a school setting.
These visits allows students to visit a college campus and experience what college has to offer before they are asked to make decisions about which high school to attend (in Cincinnati Public Schools, high school begins in 7th grade).
Since 2023, PEWS has organized visits for 5th and 6th graders at the Clifton Area Neighborhood School, the School for Creative and Performing Arts, and Miller Ridge Elementary School.
Groups at UC that have participated in these visits include the Biology Department, the College of Engineering & Applied Sciences Center for Inclusive Excellence & Community Engagement, the Geosciences Department, the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, the Classics Department, and the UC Office of Admissions.

PEWS is looking forward to continuing to host events for local schools and connect UC researchers to local K-12 classes. Interested teachers or UC researchers are welcome to reach out to us at engagingscience@uc.edu.
