Meghan is grateful for having an education that tried to make dusty textbooks come alive. In the fifth grade she had to dress as a settler. All day at school the students wrote on chalkboards, ate their lunches out of baskets, and, of course, there was no electricity.
Her sixth-grade classroom was made into a solar system, and there were daily missions to be performed.
In high school there was a Renaissance faire, and the school put on a mock Ellis Island, giving tests to enter "America."
A decade later, she remembers these experiences and is building on the idea, Meghan wants to bring education alive so that students, teachers, and avid learners of all ages can experience American history in a very meaningful and relevant way.
