"It's a very cool project, very interesting things come out. With one of the groups I worked on the history of the Italian castrati. It's a mind-blowing story and the answers given by some students are wonderful. It occurred to me to record the conclusions of the boys in short videos and so they shared their conclusions with the rest of the class. It was impressive."
