Bearcats for Life: UC shows up big at the Ohio State Fair

Two hands-on science activities sponsored by the center brought the booth to life. The Buoyancy Boat Challenge invited participants to design aluminum foil boats and test how much weight they could carry before sinking, offering a lesson in buoyancy, cargo capacity, and scientific problem-solving. 

Meanwhile, the Centrifugal Force Demo wowed fairgoers as they explored the physics behind their favorite carnival rides using simple tools and their predictions.

In addition to the hands-on fun, the A&S recruitment and central admissions teams were on-site to share the wide range of academic opportunities available at UC—from  psychology, biology, and political science to creative writing, languages, and environmental studies.

They also highlighted UC's renowned co-op programs and pathways in STEM, business, health care and beyond.
