EarthWorks makes science fun.”

“I learned that I actually might be a good mayor in real life. I will use what I learned everyday.”

“I hope I can be in EarthWorks every year.”

“I learned I could help a lot in the community; I will use what I learned at Exchange City to help me as an adult and with my job.”

“EarthWorks is the best and I mean the very best!”

“I really enjoyed the checkbook and paychecks it made me feel so grown up; Now I understand the concept of money and that it takes hard work to get what you want.”

“Thank you for teaching me about EarthWorks! If I had a test on it, I would get an A+. Thanks for making my day!”

“I learned that I’m not useless, I can do something when I get older just by working.”

“I think the greatest part about EarthWorks was the science experiment. I was a Paleontologist and my group made fossils.”

“I learned that I had an important job and a community is like a revolving circle; I will use this experience for when I get older.”

“The interaction between the kids and parent and adult volunteers is wonderful! I learned a lot as a parent. Things I forgot from my school days.”

“EarthWorks gave the students a hands-on learning experience that got the students very excited about what might otherwise be boring or too complex.”

“Exchange City was a chance for students to see what their parents do everyday – how they earn money and pay bills.”

“These kids will never forget this day and will take the science that they learned with them forever.”

“Exchange City teaches teamwork, following rules, money management and a taste of the real world.”

“This was a great additional part of our science curriculum. We need new types of learning in our system.”

“It provides parents quality time to be involved in our child’s learning process and interact with our child and their classmates.”

“The experience of taking the role of a scientist performing hands-on experiences brought the field of science to life.”

“It allowed all of the children, no matter what level, a chance to become excited about learning..”

What Teachers are Saying!

“Students ‘lived’ the curriculum. They learned more in one day (and remembered) than in months of just bookwork. Great example of ‘rigor and relevance’!”

“You can’t put into words how valuable this experience was and what the students learned. I was impressed and proud to see my students succeeding!”

“Some of our low readers could suddenly read!”

“Meaningful learning was taking place in a fun, yet challenging, environment.”

“It is a memorable experience for all who attend.”

“Can’t wait to do it all over again next year. Loved everything about it.”

“I think students need hands-on opportunities that are not always possible in the classroom and EarthWorks makes it possible for each student to participate.”

“Priceless! These children were able to gain knowledge they otherwise they would otherwise never experience.”

“The science hands-on experiments – I love them. I also value the expertise of the staff.”

“The hands-on learning! The excellent staff! The way my students responded to the curriculum!”

“Thank you very much for providing us with such an excellent learning opportunity. My kids had fun and learned a lot. It was very cool to see them connect the concepts we taught in class to what they were doing in the simulation.”
