Kids can do amazing things as scientists, if we only give them a nudge! Throwback to our report on an incredibly brave teen scientist from Tucson AZ and her research of stress tolerance in first responders. Kudos to her mentors too! 👉 https://t.co/RaOuyDREhi

Love the fresh ideas from @BackyardBrains - and integrating a MicroBit too!
