Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The people who come to this event will learn about magic and be encouraged to read as well as learning about the country/continent of Australia.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The families that attended this event really enjoyed all aspects of the Professor Marvel program. One parent wrote on their evaluation form "Enjoyed that Prof. Bob kept going back to books--encouraging kids to read to find out things." The children liked Professor Marvel's magic tricks and wanted to learn more about magic, Australia, and even zero gravity water after the program was over. They also were excited to be able to see and pet a real duck at the end of the program.
