Summer Success: New Seedling Programs |
|
|
Seedling taught 74 sessions at our 4 new partner sites this summer. Our team saw incredible growth in students and formed lasting connections. In end-of-summer surveys across locations, 98% of students expressed satisfaction with their instructor. 89% enjoyed the curriculum and had a positive classroom experience. This was facilitated by an increased emphasis on project-based learning, such as 3D modeling with clay to the left! 🪛 |
