Educator feedback

I would just love to have them come back next year! THANKS!

It was great! The students really enjoyed the engineering activity.

This has been extremely enjoyable for my classes, both years we have participated. Thanks for getting them excited about engineering!

Keep up the great work! Our experience was fantastic!

It was great having you all come to our 5th grade again! Great experience always.

The visit went very well due to the wonderful work of these dedicated volunteers.

Great program. Thank you for providing it.
