Helix worked with local schools to support students and teachers. In the spring of 2014, 35 classes visited on field trips and several schools participated in workshops. Students increased intrinsic motivation for science learning, engaged in scientific practices, and explored their understanding of phenomena. Teachers experienced inquiry-based learning for themselves and were empowered to redefine how science learning can happen in their schools.
