Teachers, very impressed with the level of enthusiasm, the curricular content and interactive activity had the following to say when asked “what was the most valuable thing the students took away from the SIA experience?”• “That science happens in Colorado and outside of the classroom. I loved that students could ask questions and get instant answers.”• “Interacting with Scientists on a personal level; bringing new ideas and career choices.”• “Curiosity is what drives most science. This makes science something all people can relate to.”
