Stories from the Epicenter
At BB2C, we break down barriers between traditional classroom learning and hands-on exploration. Our camps provide students with a platform to see firsthand how STEAM subjects converge in exciting ways, paving the way for future careers in these ever-evolving fields. We can’t wait to build more bridges, inspire more innovation, and empower the next generation of creators and problem solvers!
This June, five educators from four schools - Washington Elementary School, Veritas Classical Academy, Warren Middle School, and Marietta High School - stepped out of their classrooms and into the heart of local industry through BB2C’s Summer 2025 Teacher Tours. This hands-on professional development experience gave teachers a rare opportunity to explore the workplaces shaping the future of Southeastern Ohio.
Building Bridges to Careers (BB2C) partnered with Washington State College of Ohio’s Educational Talent Search (ETS) Camp for an exciting day of hands-on learning, creativity, and career exploration. Interested in connecting with BB2C to have our staff bring engaging activities, career exploration, and STEM-2-Go activities to your school, organization, or group? Reach out to us at info@bb2careers.org.
As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, BB2C invites professionals from in and around Washington County to get involved. Whether you want to share your story once or across several classrooms or school districts, your story matters and can help inspire students with their future career pathways.
