Teachers said…

Several students sit a long table working with papers while an professor observes in a classroom with green walls and wood flooring.

“I can’t thank your team enough for this; this is really going to change things for some kids.”

“What a great opportunity to be able to offer our students things they would not normally have the chance to witness. The students could not stop talking about all the various learning they received in the sessions! The collaboration and connections made kept them engaged and enthused about what they were observing.”

“The hands-on projects were amazing. This was so much more than what I can do in my classroom.”

“The sessions were all great–so much hands-on. Students loved to walk away with things.”
