The kids had a ball! Everything went smoothly…we hope to do more of your workshops in the future, so many of them align perfectly with the science standards.
It was amazing! The students said it was the best field trip they have ever been on. It fits so well into what we are learning in sixth grade, and other grades could get so much out of it!
