Stay Curious and Pursue your Passions

Members of the St. Louis School’s First LEGO League (FLL) had the opportunity to participate in the USA Science and Engineering Festival X-STEM Symposium at the Washington Convention Center last week. Inspirational talks by scientists, physicians and inventors gave our students insight into how pursing your passion can help lead you to the future you desire. Team members also had a special opportunity to hear Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway and founder of FIRST (…as in First Lego League!) The final presentation of the day was from a 19-year-old inventor, Easton LaChappelle, who shared how he created a prosthetic arm using his home computer and a 3D printer. The recurring message throughout the day was to stay curious and pursue your passions!
