Thank you for presenting to our 9th grade TRIO Upward Bound Cohort. They were appreciative and happy to learn about the many possibilities that are out there for them. The activities were great and it allowed them to see what are the possibilities in the area of civil engineering.
Clarissa, Science Exploration and Study Skills Instructor, University of Minnesota, Twin CitiesI really enjoyed my visit to the UMN this week. I liked the clean water demonstration, now I know where some of the water in my house comes from.
Daisy, Grade 4Thank you for sharing your time with me. My favorite parts were when we did the marshmallow and spaghetti experiments. I learned so much!
