Learner Spotlight: Mataeo Mingo

Mataeo1

Mataeo Mingo is in the the eighth grade. This is his first year with iLEAD Exploration and he is loving it! So far, iLEAD Online science classes are his favorite. He is also really enjoying a variety of books this year, including a fiction novel called, “H20.” In his spare time, Mataeo creates video reviews for Hot Wheels! He is a versatile learner who loves skateboarding and soccer.

In between his studies, Mataeo acts in plays, movies, commercials and TV shows. If you want to see more, check out his IMDB page. Last summer he was challenged with his least favorite thing to do – dancing! Despite his initial reservations, he had the time of his life playing Hairspray’s Seaweed J. Stubbs! Mataeo is not afraid to try new things, especially when it comes to foods, sports and video games.
