Tech & Learning - July 2008 - (Page 25) THE MONEY ISSUE: WHAT TO DO WITH IT David Brock’s students conduct a variety of science experiments using grant dollars at Roland Park Country School. the National Science Foundation provided materials for a group of 20 students. The Toshiba grant allowed about 100 students to participate. What was the best part of your experience winning this grant? Being able to expand the program so more of my students could experience this hands-on problem-solving type of learning. What could you have done better? I would have liked to have Toshiba officials visit more often to experience the excitement of learning as students went through the program. We participated in a BUILD-IT competition in May. My student team was the only one of 32 teams to win top awards in all three categories of the competition. I am sorry I did not invite Toshiba to the competition to see this.
