We are thrilled to have received the School of Distinction Award from Intel! The awards ceremony in Washington D.C. completely took our breath away. It was an honor to meet such high caliber schools, and then being compared to them. I can’t wait to try out Elluminate so that I can collaborate with The Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science, in the Bronx. We were very excited to hear about their Math Competition and are looking forward to duplicating their success with our own “Science Invitational.
