Testimonial

“MYSTI is a great platform for the youth to explore their scientific questions. All of these programs are well-thought out and planned with the youth of today in mind. Although my children may not realize it, but the skills they all learned from each of these programs have become an integral part of their overall academic development.” Sr. Zahra Ahmed, MD
