Reviews
The students are still talking about the fun they had and parents reached out and shared how much they liked the toys as well.
You captivate the students with scientific vocabulary, fun hands-on toying, and your friendly humorous presence.
The kids were so engaged and absolutely loved every minute of it. Everyone was set up for success.
His demeanor was quiet and calm and he had the children on the edge of their seats for an hour and a half. His presentation was one of the main highlights of the year in my classroom!
The workshop was INCREDIBLE! We absolutely loved it. The students were completely engaged, the tasks were designed at a perfect level for them and I loved how much information and history you incorporated. We are definitely planning to do this again next year! It is already on our must-do list!
