LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Rhodes State College is getting young students interested in science.
Rhodes offers several Mini Camps for students ranging from elementary to middle school. Kids in grades 2-5 did several experiments with cornstarch, including making non-Newtonian fluids, substances that have traits of both solids and liquids. Though the activities are fun and messy, they teach important concepts, like physics and the importance of measuring properly during experiments.
"It gets them involved sooner. A lot of kids nowadays they don't really see college as an option. So we like to give them an idea and show them what they can do, even just here at Rhodes in their community. We like to incorporate a lot of the technology Rhodes has on campus to utilize for students," said Ashley Hunter, the coordinator of youth and community programming for Rhodes.
Registration is also open for Rhodes State's youth summer camp programs.
