The Old Streets Adventure has received great teacher/student feedback. Mostly, in regards to how engaging and fun and memorable it is. It’s been a stand-out experience of the whole week for our Immerse students.

I have decided to continue my education and work towards a degree that allows me to pursue design and the environment. I am looking to apply to the University of Michigan for Landscape Architecture and Sustainability. I want to thank you for helping to build my skills as it related to what I wanted to try and pursue in the future. The Sensiware project is a big reason I started to pay attention to inclusion practices and how they affect everyone.
