What people are saying
'This was a truly incredible experience. The idea of having a performer instead of a normal teacher was very different, yet much more relatable to students and allowed us to engage, connect. I am incredibly grateful to NIDA for this course being accessible to students in high school. It was a highly educational and engaging week.'
