The State of Ohio Gets Fuel For Learning, was one of three proposals selected for funding by the 2009 Excellence in Engagement grant program. It is a collaborative project between Dr. Maryanna Klatt and Gail Kaye. The grant is is a yoga / nutrition project addressing childhood obesity, learning readiness (through increasing attention to task), behavior issues, and stress prevention  strategies to be implemented in elementary classrooms across Ohio via COSI and Extension (who will assist in data collection). This project will be part of the new exhibits and programs at COSI that will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Health (STEMH).
