Rochester is preparing for the 8th Annual Central Illinois STEM Fair, set to take place at Rochester High School’s Athletic Complex. Last year's event hosted 80 exhibits and attracted over 1,000 visitors, featuring student participation from 20 schools in the Central Illinois area, with projects spanning the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

This year’s fair is planned for Wednesday, April 9, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

"Rochester CUSD 3A students present impressive school projects," highlights the engaging work of both high school and junior high students. The event offers them an opportunity to showcase their projects, particularly those involving interactive AI, to the public and the educational community. "I had a great time talking with bright students from Rochester CUSD 3A. Both High School and Junior High students worked hard to set up and display their projects at the Capitol. They were so excited to present their school projects that use interactive AI."

Community members are encouraged to attend and support the innovative efforts of young local minds.
