STEM Playbook is a free, drop-in program where you get behind the scenes of sports — using real STEM to break down what makes athletes, teams, and gear actually work. No sign-up, no pressure. Just show up and dive in.
One week you're crunching numbers like a sports-analytics team, calculating shooting percentage and expected value to make the call a coach would make. Another week you're testing training methods like a sports-science lab, or engineering a stadium structure that can actually hold up under real load. Other sessions get into reaction time, heart rate data, or how AI is changing game strategy.
Bottom line: sports careers aren't just about being the athlete. Engineers, data scientists, health experts, and tech pros are all in the game too — and this is where you find out how.

North Olmsted Branch
In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.
This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
