“I just wanted to write and say how great of a job you and your staff did for PLTW training. I had a great time. The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful, my classmates were very nice and the food was great. I am at another STI training right know and it makes me appreciate how good I had it in Kentucky… I have shared a few ideas with them about how you did things and that I thought were beneficial. Jumpdrives and coffee mugs to start things out were a hit! I’ll let PLTW know.”
