"We were all extremely impressed. Many students commented that it was the best presentation they had seen. Students were extremely motivated following the presentation. I had one student tell me that he had decided to use the period for a nap, but when Michael began speaking – he couldn’t sleep because he was so interested."

"140 students signed up AFTER your presentation for many reasons. Your multi-media, multi-faceted program not only appealed to the way this generation listens and learns, it stimulated & motivated them to focus on the concept & message and become proactive to create a positive impact on their future, & the future of their planet relative to climat change & global warming. I have been @ Marian Catholic since 1980, & I have never observed such an overwhelming positive response & feedback to a presentation."

"The feedback has been so positive from your presentation, both teachers and students are still buzzing about it. I was so pleased to have students talking about these types of actions. Talking and awareness is the first step and you really helped to get that across to many of them. This was a great presentation, it left them upbeat and feeling like they finally could make an impact, when so often they can get to feeling hopeless in this realm."

ACE's climate change presentation was innovative and engaging for our entire diverse student body. The presentation made climate change a very accessible and motivating concept for kids - it's dynamic format and the energy and talent of our presenter kept students on the edge of their seats while learning a ton about human impact on the environment as well as our capacity for change. Furthermore, it inspired our students to take on leadership roles in their school and community. Students' responses after the presentation were proof of it's power and impact."

"My students and I were very impressed with your presentation. The animations of the presentation went very well with the information you were providing. It really captured the attention of my students. Some of my students have been very enthusiastic about starting a recycling program here at our school. We throw away tons of paper that could be recycled and we need to do something about it."
Lauro Davalos, Environmental Science Teacher

"I am a parent of a young man who was in the audience during the ACE presentation. My normally quiet and reserved son, could not wait to share his experience with our family. He talked about how the world his generation was inheriting is not the world he wants! He now believes he has the power to change global warming and he plans to begin in our own neighborhood. He is planning to recycle, change our lightbulbs to CFL, and plant a garden in our backyard! Thank your for the inspiration and information. Apparently A.J. has the ability to relate to high school students and motivate them to get involved in their future. Great job ACE!"
Student Parent
Del Valle, TX
"I would like to take a few moments to thank ACE for coming to our school last week and presenting to our students. Not only were the students receptive to the information that was offered, they left feeling empowered and excited about the future. Capturing the attention of high school students is not an easy task, but your presenters made it look effortless. I appreciate all the options that were offered and will assist my students in their pursuit of a positive future. "
