“
It really was an incredible opportunity and we felt really privileged to take part. All the supporting materials on the website were amongst the best I have used and gave us so many ideas for activities in the classroom."
Thomas Billingham, Teacher,
Olney Middle School, UK
“
It was so much better than watching a video or reading a book, because it was live and the information was up to date."
