“The papel picado activity is very interesting. It is extraordinary to be able to explain symmetric Shapes this way. I was very interested on this and I also liked it, because it is also very cultural”.

—Lourdes, mother, San José, CA

 

“Hi, my name is Celia Martinez and I would like to know more about this. I have two children that go to elementary school, one is a girl and she is 10 years old, she passed to 5th grade and the other is a boy and he passed to 2nd grade. I would like that they could learn more about math and science.
Thank you very much.”
