Teacher Testimonials
"I feel like I learned so many new things- instructional methods, cultural and historical connections, and ways to scaffold learning for students who are new to this kind of science set up."
"I really enjoyed actually going through the activities and labs themselves -- pretending to be students -- to actually experience what they would go through, and try to anticipate problems that may arise when they are trying to put together the pieces in their understanding"
"The workshop gave me a lot of confidence to teach in a new way. I learned so many practical ways to help kids see chemistry in their daily lives. I think it's going to really help the stigma around Chemistry in my space."
