WHAT STUDENTS LOVE ABOUT EDACITY

“For the last three years, our team has been working on genetically engineering pesticides to help get rid of pesticide pollution in water. As a grade eight student when we first began, I felt very insecure about myself and not really confident in who I was. Taking part in geekStarter really helped me branch out and find people who care.” - Grade 10 student, Calgary
