Measurable Outcome(s)
Children (and adults too!) left this event with a greater appreciation of the value of insects to our environment. This was a great 'hands on' event that used the art of storytelling, along with a hands-on approach, to provide an interesting and entertaining 'learning experience' to the attendees. Positive comments include 'VERY engaging for the kids! Thank you!' and 'Thank you for offering a variety of educational topics - the bugs were a hit with my child!'
