The event was hosted by local educators and community partners, all with the shared goal of sparking curiosity and preparing students for tomorrow’s workforce.
On May 8, nearly 1,700 students from Adams, Brown, and Highland counties gathered for the Little State STEAM event—an exciting, hands-on career fair that brought future opportunities to life. From robotics and construction to nursing and agriculture, students explored a wide variety of career paths through interactive booths and engaging activities. The event was hosted by local educators and community partners, all with the shared goal of sparking curiosity and preparing students for tomorrow’s workforce.
Farm Bureau helped connect agriculture to science and innovation by leading a “Make Your Own Butter” station. Students shook jars of cream by hand to watch it turn into butter—learning firsthand how physical transformation, movement, and energy play a role in food systems. After the butter formed, students enjoyed sampling their work on crackers. Volunteers also shared how Ohio’s dairy farms and food production rely on science, technology, and engineering every day. It was a day filled with fun, discovery, and planting seeds for the future!
