“I like to compare Professor Ridley to Adam Savage from the Mythbusters, because he knows exactly how to entertain young ambitious minds while also teaching them valuable information. Him and the entire team are extremely receptive, comprehending, and flexible when it comes to considering individual students’ needs, allowing for the perfect amount of breathing room needed to protect mental health.
