Demonstration of Student Project

Various student projects are presented to our classes, so other students can learn from the outcome of research from their fellow students.  The video posted here is an example of a demonstration of a student project in our learning center.  This presentation was on the importance of plants and the student was presenting the outcome of her research to follow students.  Thanks to support from our project coordinators, educators and members we are able to provide technology in the classroom that makes this experience unique for students.
