She was excited to share her info with her sibling & dad ... and teach them facts about the night sky at a campfire
I had one student mention that he now knows he would like to be a detective when he is older. This was based on the Crime Scene Investigation workshop. He also showed me his fingerprint and mentioned that it was the best part of the conference.
I had a great time attending the conference with my students. I hope we are able to come back next year. They really enjoyed learning new things and meeting new students too.
