Acellus World looks amazing! My family and I would really like to take a summer road trip up there from here north of Tampa Bay! It’s amazing how a homeschool program like this can be so amazing, interesting and interactive as much as this one is. Looking forward to meeting Tobias, Dr. Billings, and Todd Edmond if we do go! I watched the whole thing, this was the BEST science live yet with the Optimus Bot and diving deep into what and who could be at Acellus World, I just forgot to comment on the live stream after me and my family were done watching through AirPlay.
A magic show would be awesome. It is a great idea. yes let Tobias do it it will be fun.
Awesome
a magic show would be so cool
