Chief Science Officer Voice Opinions...
"The person that inspired me
most in science was...
my science teachers! Everyday during science class
I loved learning something new. It has made me
want to learn more from space to deep down in our
tectonic plates. To me it has made me question tons
of things like, if time travel exits or tele-porting or even new planets that can sustain life and
support the elements that we have like H20." CSO Alex, Villago Middle School in Casa Grande
