"Words cannot express how much I enjoyed and learned from the wonderful experience at the Arlington Science Focus School [which was engaging with the EiE Catching the Wind unit]....If we could propagate the outstanding teaching skills that I...witnessed at ASFS we should have no concern for the future of STEM talent in the US. Hopefully, key staff can arrange a similar visit and see first hand how engineering is being taught in the third grade."
