Club kids find learning can be fun

Simeon Everage, 8, of Carbondale, sits and waits for a copy of an eight-sided die to be made by a 3-D printer Wednesday. Everage, along with other students of the Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale, was treated to a three-day math, art, science and technology (M.A.S.T.) festival. “It’s really fun, and we get to participate in a lot of things. I like the staff; they teach us how to do a lot of stuff,” Everage said of the M.A.S.T. festival. Anthony Robinson, a Team Reach Coordinator for the Boys and Girls Club, was one of the staff members to decide to make the festival happen. Robinson said he thought it would be a good idea to bring the technology to the kids and let them experience it for themselves. He said that the festival went well, and he hopes to make it an annual event.
