PROGRAM FEEDBACK

Through the years Nature By Design has received many cards and letters from students, teachers, and parents commenting on their positive experience.  We appreciate your feedback and encouragement.  We'd like to share just a few with you...

In July 2007, Dan Wyrick was invited to present his workshop "Nutz and Boltz Science" to 35 teachers of the Southwestern Union Conference in Cleburne, Texas.  Here are some of the responses from workshop participants who responded to a brief questionnaire.

I liked the fact that instead of handing us the workshop notebook and going through each experiment talking about them, you actually brought the supplies and went through them with us.
