What worked well • The workshops were fun and presenters were thrilled to teach students about their career • Students got to go on a campus tour – including the dorms! • Each student left with a door prize and a huge bag of scientific activities and goodies
Next year would be better if: • Partner with additional community and K-12 programs • Coordinating time frames to accommodate parents • Provide simple program for parents
