TESTIMONIALS FOR STEMCX 2011
"I just want tell you - thank you for the all organization and congratulations on the success and let me know when you have new events for the students
Thanks Have a nice day"
"Congrats ...It certainly seemed like a wonderful event from my perspective."
"I was one of the teachers who attended the conference. I can't believe that it was a first time event because it was so well organized. I was hesitant of going off to my own workshops and leaving my son to his workshops until I saw all the student group leaders present. They should definitely be invited back with their flags that made it easy to identify them. I really enjoyed the President of Univ of MD. He was very motivational for the students. I think he should come back if possible. Having a Univ of MD student also present was great so that the younger students could see a real-live teen doing well and ask him questions. I enjoyed Dr Emdin's presentation. Receiving his autographed book was also a great perk. He was very enthusiastic and came prepared with slide show and music which kept our attention. My son was excited with the hands on-activities and robots in his workshops. He was even more excited about the giveaways at the end. I think the passports at the end was a great idea for the students to see even more that was offered in math, science and technology. So, I will definitely be signing up for the stem conference if its held next year. I would definitely inform more math and science teachers to atted as well. I had an enjoyable experience and commend all of those on the planning committee."
"I didn't get a chance to meet you at the conference, but I thought it was awesome. My kids also enjoyed it, and my oldest son was given business cards to follow-up with microsoft and a couple of others. I would be interested in getting a little more involved with your STEM initiatives."
" As a teacher participant, I found it worth my time and appreciated the opportunity."
"Thank you for a well executed STEMcx. The WRAIR team enjoyed our time there. I have recommended that we return next year if invited. The students were polite, engaged, curious and a delight to work with. You have a great community."
"Heard Saturday's event was fabulous!!! Congratulations...I saw the program and heard first-hand accounts of how wonderful the workshops/hands-on demos, etc. were. Wish we could have been there"
"The conference was wonderful and a great benefit to the young people who attended! Thanks so much for the opportunity to serve. May the Lord continue to give you everything you need to fulfill your destiny in life.l"
"I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful event. The event seemed so smooth! The volunteers with their neon vests were easy to identify and plentiful; it really made getting around (as a presenter) and getting extra chairs, trash cans very easy. It was also great to have the kids led to the correct workshop room, we were able to get the program going right away rather than waiting 10-15 minutes for kids to arrive. I also have to admit that I was nervous that the students were going to be hard to engage (being too tough or too cool for the activity) but they were great, enthusiastic and easy to engage. I hope we inspired a few to consider being more active in their STEM classes, and a few to become architects or involved in the building industry. Thanks again for inviting us to participate."
" I got rave reviews from the 2 students who attended the STEM Expo. The one parent who attend the parents seminar really appreciated the advice given about the issue of tutoring for her daughter. She said she always thought of tutoring when a child was behind/lacking in a particular subject…she now views it much differently and plans to enroll her daughter on a regular basis. Please let me know if there are follow-up events planned."
