What teachers are saying about NG Live:

“Our students got so much out of the presentation and afterwards the staff kept on commenting about what a great program it was. It was such a wonderful combination of information—entertaining AND educational!”

“The presentation was so informative and well delivered on the children’s level, which is commendable. Upon returning to our school, the children couldn’t wait to discuss their experience of meeting the scientists and viewing the interactive exhibits in the museum. You never know if this program will be the inspiration for a future scientist.”

“One of the best things was giving the students a real life example of what they could be.”

What students are saying about NG Live:

“Thank you for the presentation! I enjoyed it because the pictures were amazing. Your speech was very interesting and inspired a curiosity inside of me. Perhaps I will go to Antarctica someday too!”
