Patricia, I wanted to take the time to say a BIG THANK YOU! for the professional way you and your staff conducted the successful STEAM training. I have no doubt that the training and general content we experienced over the three-month 6-sessions will help us to provide fun and meaningful program activities for hundreds of deserving youth in our afterschool programs. Through your training sessions, you have given us the skills and opportunity to help youth to think and plan their future in STEAM. You have given us some awesome ideas to plan and work with kids at all levels. I would strongly recommend your program to anyone who is seeking a way to get kids excited about STEAM.
