SCHOOL FEEDBACK

Our 3/4 students absolutely loved the incursion. They were able to participate in experiments that we would not have been able to do in class. Caleb was very engaging and enthusiastic. All of our students were engaged the whole time. It has been a highlight of the term for our students. We look forward to booking again through Mad About Science in the future. Thank you!
