Testimonials

See what teachers are saying about our programs!

“Awesome first experience with the virtual tour and stem presentation. Students really enjoyed field trip.” Instructor

“Thank you! My students really enjoyed the STEM demo and can’t wait to try it themselves! They also seemed fascinated by the different types of aircraft that you showed us and taught us about.” – Instructor

“The program and tour were really great. We made a special request for content to fit our class. The team took the questions we were dealing with and brought a great amount of information, examples and enthusiasm to the program. It was great to get both the tour and conversation. Having four people there, each to address their specialty within the museum was very generous. Thank you!” – Instructor

“Our kids loved the virtual tour and the STEM activity. Thank you for offering this during the pandemic.” – Instructor

“We love this program! I was a little unsure about doing a virtual field trip with such young learners, but the presentation was fantastic (as always) and the students were engaged and enjoyed it thoroughly. The information is always presented at our students’ level of understanding and the students learn so much. Thank you for all that you do to make this engaging and successful for our students.” – Instructor
