CHURCHILL ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL: FIREFLY WORKSHOP FEEDBACK

Here's the feedback we got after conducting a workshop with 3rd/4th grade students of Churchill Alternative School, Ottawa. Seriously, our fireflies really enjoyed the comments of these brilliant young innovators! Our personal shout-out goes to Shauna Pollock – an outstanding teacher and a mentor whose progressive teaching methods led to us spending an hour with her students teaching them a bit about biology and 3D printing.
