Our Teachers Say It Best

“I wanted to send a thank you for a great visit to your STEAM Day. One of my kids said it was AMAZING! The DNA extraction activity was a BIG hit. We were also able to use their experience on the 3D drawing activity in class today. Between the hands-on activities, the STEAM activities, and the pendulum, I’m not sure what else we could have asked for in our day. SOOOO much great learning.”
