Thank you SO much for the webcast yesterday. It was a great experience for the kids and for me. The science information was a perfect fit for our Geoscience unit, but more importantly, it showed the students science in action and some of the possibilities that await if they want to pursue a career in science; I really can’t begin to describe what a positive experience this was for us.”
