Illinois Student Innovation Showcase

About the Event

Mark your calendars for an inspiring celebration of educational diversity! On Tuesday, January 28th, 2025, from 10:00am to 11:30am, we’re hosting a dynamic student presentation event in honor of National School Choice Week. Young learners from traditional public schools, charter institutions, and private academies throughout our community will unite to demonstrate their creativity and knowledge through an interactive showcase highlighting Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and creative arts! Our Student Innovation Showcase, invites teams of middle school students to present original projects in STEM, and fine arts. The initiative creates a platform for young innovators to demonstrate their creative problem-solving abilities and share their academic achievements with the wider community. This celebration is proudly presented by The Brown House Experience, working alongside the National School Choice Awareness Foundation to bring this vision to life. We invite families, educators, and community members to attend and support these emerging leaders as they demonstrate their dedication, teamwork, and academic excellence. This gathering embodies our commitment to recognizing the diverse educational pathways available to families and the remarkable achievements possible when students have access to schools that match their unique learning needs and interests. Join us for this memorable occasion that highlights how educational choice empowers students to thrive!
