Creative Minds – Big Thinkers

Seven year old Josiah likes to code. He was at the STEM Academy Fun Fair demonstrating his coding capabilities to make a Lego helicopter, truck and plane.

Stateline STEM Academy, at 9461 2nd Street in Roscoe, IL., hosted a Fun Fair on Sunday, May 7, 2023. The event provided a platform for young entrepreneurs to show their creativity and imagination and make learning fun by using skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Everything from creating Lego construction equipment to making earrings were on display at the Fun Fair.

The Fun Fair gave parents a look at how learning can go along with creativity.
