GenNET ITV EVENT: Meet the Experts
Experts talking to students about important matters!
3rd and 4th Grade Classrooms Met with Experts - May 2, 2016
On May 2, 2016 from 1:00-2:30, experts in many areas of interest were invited to talk to students about very important environmental and social topics. This was a great way for students to talk to epxerts from the community about the kinds of things they hear about in their communities, or view on the internet and on television, but may not understand the bigger picture.
To that end, Grand Blanc Myers Elementary School in collaboration with GenNET hosted a special opportunity to meet and hear from experts first-hand this spring.
