“There was an excitement and I could see many of them come every single day just to get into that Turntabling part of the STEM. Whether it was learning about the different aspects on HOW to do it or the mechanics behind it or the science behind it or how the revolutions per minute and the friction of the mats. I mean I think it really sparked their interest.”
