Design Squad: Final Evaluation Report

January 1, 2008 | Media and Technology, Public Programs
Goodman Research Group, Inc. (GRG) conducted a comprehensive multi-method external evaluation of the Design Squad PBS television series and its outreach initiative. Design Squad is a live-action reality television series for 9-12 years-olds that aims to provide hands-on experiences and positive images of engineering through design competitions. The broad evaluation goals were to: 1) assess the extent to which children's knowledge, interest, and awareness of engineering increased as a result of watching the Design Squad series, 2) document the implementation of the community events resulting from the Engineering Summit, and 3) assess the effectiveness of the Afterschool Educators Guide with leaders and students.
