Lubrizol volunteers supported Manufacturing Day in Northeast Ohio for a second consecutive year at the Great Lakes Science Center.
More than 600 students from nearly 30 schools explored chemistry, engineering, and advanced manufacturing through hands-on activities and mentoring.
The program helps build STEM awareness, career curiosity, and a stronger future talent pipeline in the region.

In 2025, Northeast Ohio Lubrizol volunteers participated in their second consecutive Manufacturing Day at the Great Lakes Science Center— connecting young people to the realities of modern manufacturing and future career pathways. Through hands-on demonstrations, interactive classroom activities, career tables, and speed mentoring, Lubrizol employees introduced chemical engineering, material science, and advanced manufacturing concepts to more than 600 students from nearly 30 regional schools.

Designed as an immersive and engaging educational experience, Manufacturing Day enabled students to explore STEM-based career pathways, interact directly with industry professionals, and discover how chemistry and manufacturing shape the products and technologies that make everyday life possible. Volunteers used small-group rotations and activities aligned to Lubrizol Learning Labs to build student awareness, confidence, and curiosity—critical steps in inspiring the next generation of innovators and strengthening Northeast Ohio’s future workforce.

This continued participation reflects Lubrizol’s commitment to community investment and long-term talent development in the places where employees live and work. By showing students what modern manufacturing truly looks like—collaborative, technology-driven, and full of opportunity—Lubrizol volunteers broadened students’ horizons and deepen the region’s pipeline of future STEM talent.
