Instructional Materials from DriveOhio, an initiative of the Ohio Department of Transportation, have been added to Open Space. The content added features seven hands-on lesson plans, eLearning modules, a student ambassador program, and a K-12 Educator Toolkit focused on drones, electric vehicles, and advanced mobility topics. 

STEAM, or science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, is more than an educational buzzword or standalone class. For many, it's a practice of using technology, introducing authentic real-world problems, incorporating themes and knowledge from across content areas, and focusing on project-based tasks to engage learners in the classroom.

Instructional materials matter. While securing a coherent curriculum and professional development for teachers is the first step in ensuring equity in Ohio’s classrooms, identifying high-quality supplemental materials at grade level for all learners can be helpful in increasing student engagement, meeting diverse needs, and filling instructional gaps.
