Frequently Asked Questions
Program In Action
“It is hard to get my students engaged in most learning activities, but the facilitator’s passion for the topic was infectious and the students were more engaged in learning than I’ve seen them in a long time. We chatted about mason bees on the drive back to school, which was so exciting for me.”
