"The presenter was excellent in creating each station with in-depth information that really helped the students grow in understanding the topic at hand. I would suggest that any teacher invite this presenter in the room to experience the let’s eat stem program!! "--4th grade teacher, Beverly Skoff Elementary School, Romeoville
"Students read independently. They discussed with their small group and collectively carried up the investigation. Students applied their reading skills to identify main ideas and details. Students were able to to identify cause and effect. The STEM lessons gave students the opportunity to clarify the concepts of science, technology, engineering and math in a simple way."--4th grade teacher, Beverly Skoff Elementary School, Romeoville
