Feedback from families whose children joined our STEM workshops.
Best teacher ever, inspired my son to get in love with electricity
Knowledgeable instructor, great communication, good content, kind person. Very much appreciated this person and this class.
My son was very excited about this class! He asked to continue doing it and thought it was excellent!
We had 4 sessions, and our children really enjoyed the customized format. It helped them understand the basics of physics applied to every day life and situations. I highly recommend the class as a foundational layer to engage learners.
Very good class with hands on activities
Superb!
My 14yr old loved this class and is excited to do more!
Amazing & critical course! My son loved it & really benefited from learning fundamental skills for budgeting & purchase planning.
