Karen’s Evaluation QuestionsTo what degree:

1. does videoconference technology support the participants?

 2. do students become skilled in data collection, analysis, and display?

3. do students become skilled at using GIS technology to display and analyze data?

4. do students gain skill in producing documentaries?

5. do students gain skill at using data to answer questions about energy?

 6. do participants become more knowledgeable about energy production and use?

7. do the students become more interested in pursuing an energy-related career or any STEM-related career?
