MILWAUKEE -- A unique shuttle that teaches children about science, technology, engineering and math has landed in downtown Milwaukee.

The "Dream Flight USA STEM Shuttle" is on display at the Wisconsin Center for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards 2016 Annual Convention, which is taking place from January 20th through the 22nd.

The shuttle travels around to schools, and is used as a hands-on learning tool.
