Jordan Eager, a student volunteer at Midland College, expressed her group's enthusiasm for the event to NewsWest 9. "My group, they're excited for the respiration in the Health Science Department," she said. "As sixth graders, they really were paying attention a lot. And I remember my attention span in sixth grade was not as long as theirs, but they really liked all the hands-on and like the explaining of the teachers."
