"Having the Planetarium viewing was wonderful, please continue to include that. Everything went extremely smoothly from pick up to return at school. Our kids are extremely diverse, speak lots of different languages, and rarely get outside of Oakland. Every second of the trip was a new and awesome experience for all of the kids." - 6th & 7th Grade, Roosevelt Middle School
"Thanks so much for making it possible for our students to make it out there from Oakland!" - 6th Grade, Parker Elementary
As we wait for more feedback, read some reflections from teachers participating in the events Google sponsored in September 2016:
“Most of my students had not been to the California Academy of Sciences. The students really enjoyed it. Without the free transportation and entry fee, exposure to this wonderful place would not have been possible.” -Hoover Elementary
“My students loved the Academy! One student said that she wanted to live there. Some of my students have never been to San Francisco and they appreciated this opportunity so much. They were engaged and responsible throughout the day. I was so impressed with them.” – Global Family School
“I'll never forget the sustained atmosphere of wonder my kids participated in. They moved from exhibit to exhibit, even more excited about each in turn. And they learned so much! They keep coming up to me to tell me about connections with what we saw and with their lives.” - Bret Harte Middle School
“This Field Trip was extremely memorable for students. They were in awe the entire time we were there. They loved seeing the different animals and exhibits. They especially had a blast with the earthquake museum and the mating call dances in the Color of Life exhibit. I saw giant smiles on the faces of my students all throughout the day.” - Roosevelt Middle School
“Thanks to Google for providing this experience to our students. For some of the parent chaperones, it was their first time visiting the California Academy of Science and many plan on returning with their children. Some of the students plan on asking their parents to bring them back.” - International Community School
