LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Your Hometown Stations welcomed the City of Lima's GenNext Maker Camp participants on Tuesday afternoon.

The camp is a way to introduce students to the world of STEM, and on Tuesday, they saw behind the scenes in the studio and got a chance to figure out the green screen and sit at the anchor desk. Their smiles and enthusiasm lasted all afternoon.
