Telequest creates video for Princeton Education Foundation

Telequest produced a video, pro bono, for the Princeton Education Foundation, to tell the story about its teacher mini grant program. Teachers apply to PEF for grants to enrich their classrooms with 3D printers, genetic testing of turtles, smart device sensors, mini windmills and more. The video premiered at PEF’s 2015 spring gala and can be viewed on the PEF Facebook page.
