The 2022 Tech Prairie STEAM Expo was a particular hit with learners of all ages. Over the LTC’s four days at the fair, hundreds of students and fair-goers from across the state visited the Orr Building to play with programmable robots, participate in an esports tournament, and take home a 3D printed butter cow as a souvenir.
