On Tuesday morning, April 30, the Swain Middle School gym was abuzz with activity as students got to explore video games, the Smokies and the stars at the school’s first STEAM Expo.

There was plenty to explore, from Cherokee basket artists and glass blowing and blacksmiths from the Jackson County Green Energy Park (JCGEP) to Swain Cooperative Extension 4-H agent bringing a make your own smoothie bike and PARI bringing a planetarium.
