Through a vast array of live in-person and virtual experiences, students have become immersed in STEM career pathways, grade-level reading opportunities, career and college preparedness, project-based learning activities, and learning about entrepreneurship.

In response to COVID-19, our pivot to virtual learning experiences has yielded a mix of student interests across various pathways for their future. We decided this was a perfect time to also increase intentionality around our participant data as a means to help us prioritize programming needs and capture unique instances of community needs in the new normal.

Through exit surveys, we call STLRs, (Student Transformative Learning Records) we identify and track various points of data including the level of engagement, interest, pre and post knowledge, as well as gain vital direct feedback on what students have learned, hope to learn in the future and struggle with while participating in our programs.
