Abstract
The Ohio Valley Museum of Discovery (OVMoD) strives to provide a hub for play-based science, technology, engineering, art, and math STEAM learning experiences in rural southeastern Ohio, and create reciprocal, collaborative relationships that bridge the gap between formal and informal learning environments. The museum works to develop meaningful connections between preK–12 schools, community nonprofit organizations, local STEAM professionals, and university outreach programs.
