- So many kids in this area don't have access to this kind
of technology, and so it's really important
for them to see what's possible.

My name's Liz Harmon, and I live in Jackson, Ohio,
and I'm here for the STEM bus.
- I think the mobile classroom is an opportunity
for young people to explore technology
and have the opportunity
to try things maybe they have never tried before.

- Our community's a great little community,
but we're only gonna keep moving forward with technology.
If our kids don't understand it, they don't have experiences
with it, they're gonna get left behind
and then our community will be left behind.
- There are places in Ohio where people don't have
as much access to technology,
and so sometimes we find that this is the first time
that maybe they've ever been on an iPad.
It's really a good time for them to find out
what is out there.
- I'm so grateful for STEM
to be made an opportunity in this area
because I want kids to know what's possible.
I want them to know that anything they dream,
they can achieve it.
- Being able to come here
and participate in not only a fun program,
but a quality program where they're having fun
and they are learning and it's all free.
I mean, that's amazing for our families here.

- I love so much that when the STEM bus comes,
it makes it seem that even though Ohio State is an hour
and a half away, it's so much closer.
