Evaluating your STEM Program
This presentation focuses on evaluating programs that focus on science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). We will discuss issues related to program outcomes, methodology, logic models, and more. Participants will have the opportunity to review resources from evaluations of similar programs, reflect on their current evaluation needs using a tool developed for the purpose of thinking about evaluation, and discuss individual program evaluation needs.
