Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, school aged children will expand their knowledge on pewter casting which will inspire them to find other creative ways to express themselves in a future project. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, count Fine Arts night participants, have a questionnaire for youth after their experience, and record reactions to their experiences.
