Mundelein High school juniors Sriharikrishna (Sri) Gaddam and Diego Prado were recently selected as the two representatives from Mundelein High School for the Congressman Brad Schneider’s (D-Deerfield) STEAM Scholars program.

 The program aims to connect highly-motivated students interested in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics with hands-on learning experiences throughout the 10th congressional district. Selected students have the opportunity to join Congressman Schneider on visits to four STEAM-related businesses and facilities during the 2020-2021 school year. On these visits, students will have the chance to participate in discussions with local employees, business owners, and educators, and learn more about the STEAM career opportunities in our backyard.

This program is open to all rising Sophomores and Juniors who live in or attend high schools located within Illinois’s Tenth Congressional District. The students were selected after applying with a written essay, a resume, expression of interest and letter of recommendation from a teacher.
