Testimonials

David McKim - "There were lots of things I really enjoyed about participating in the QUEST Science Education Institute. ... We were trained to use this phenomenal new technology that we were able to take directly back to our classrooms to provide those trainings for our students." "QUEST provides connections to real-life things going on in the community. It makes classroom material come alive."

Mimi Cline - "What did I like about the QUEST Institute? Really, what didn't I like I about the QUEST Institute? I've always loved learning new things. And this has been a paradigm shift in the way that I have taught and the way that I have learned. It's exactly what I needed. My horizons have opened up."

Christy Tyler - "QUEST is more than just TV! I am amazed by the different platforms and the versatility in my classroom with the different types of stories and the different kinds of reporting."

Steve Soesbe - "I am excited about bringing the hands-on, outdoor technology piece back to [our youth]....I learned how quick and simple it can be. A lot of technology tools can be pretty complicated. I feel like the things we learned were the easy and accessible entry points."

John Crosby - "I am really impressed with the massive amount of video resources that QUEST has along with the supplemental teaching instructions that go along with them."
