Our Testimonials
" This virtual event a tremendous success and we are looking forward to do many more of these in the future with all of you. "
- Betsy Thurston, Development Director, Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital, Washington, DC.
" The event inspired my students to get more involved with coding. We had just finished writing a story about global problems, inspired by Cisco's GPS. Several of my students are in the robotics team, but they don't have much experience with coding. Seeing the connection between coding and global problem solving was eye-opening and inspirational for them. "
- Sabine Bachner, Desert Mirage Elementary School, Phoenix, AZ.
" The presentation was very informative. I plan to implement STEM activities at my campus. "
- Commodore Bussey, East Grand Preparatory, Dallas, TX.
" I liked that the students got to experience learning about a real career choice that they may not have know about. And she talked about thinking about your future and how you may change your thoughts about your future so keep and open mind to all learning. "
- Janet Mehta, Desert Mirage Elementary, Glendale, AZ.
