Gilson leads students in the FUSE Studio, a student-driven learning concept developed at Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy. The learning tools, which include both software and hardware, are designed to spark interest in robotics, electronics, bio-tech, app development, and other areas in STEM education. Gilson was able to secure a $26,000 grant that helped Manual become one of only 23 school awarded in the nation.(Fred Zwicky/Journal Star via AP)/
