And oh yes! The SEEDlings team is part of Transforming Education. It was such an honor to help David.
Science Literacy Maine UnConference
And what a terrific day of the "meeting of the minds". I enjoyed meeting everyone and was so impressed by the diversity and knowledge of the group. It's wonderful to know that such a pool of talent exists locally. The food was yummy and the spaces were perfect for sharing. Thank you Justine and Gayle for organizing the day. It was a great success. I hope we can do it again.
