Metro Early College High School -

Geometry students collaborated with peers in the Design Early College program on an interdisciplinary lesson to build trusses. Geometry groups served as design engineers and Design students served as structural engineers, making modifications before 3D printing each truss. Instructors then tested to see how much weight each could hold. Watch the action here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15B_x5uX3HY-Qc8DVwnWL4Uey18rXBFqB/view?usp=sharing

Ms. Altstaetter's Investigation Into Literature classes conducted a deep study of characters and examined character traits. Students then worked in book groups to create characters and shared evidence to support their thinking.

Thanks to all the staff, family members and Metro partners who have served our country. We salute you!

Bodies ECE students participate in interactive activities with Ohio State anesthesiologists, which include learning how to use ultrasounds and how to intubate on a manikin.

Interdisciplinary Work: Mrs. Linik and Mr. Caldwell's classes collaborated on a project to build a strong truss. Geometry students served as Design Engineers by researching different types of trusses and creating a prototype. Students in Design ECE took on the role of Structural Engineers by analyzing the designs to build the trusses. Testing will take place later this week!

Bodies ECE students learn about antibiotic resistance and the importance of aseptic technique through a conjugation lab.

Ohio State's College of Nursing hosted Metro's Bodies Early College students for hands-on simulations and

Metro alumni Asiah & Daijah Robinson (class of 2018) spoke to students in Early College Experiences about their college and career journey and the importance of hard work, perseverance, positive relationships and personal growth.
