9. Does the workshop align with my state’s academic standards?
   Because Steve hosts these workshops throughout the country, Boot Camp is not aligned with any one state’s standards, but rather with National Science Standards.

10. Your website says the workshop is for Pre-K through Elementary teachers... would it be beneficial for higher grades as well?
    While Steve gears his workshops primarily for the younger grades, attendance and teacher feedback have shown us that teachers from every grade level will be able to take something away from the experience. Some of the lessons may require a bit of adaptation, but the overall methodology of getting students excited for learning is perfect for any age.
