Summary of results from 2017 evaluation activities.
360 and its partners host a variety of youth outreach events that emphasize STEM and manufacturing fields. At the end of camp, youth participants complete a satisfaction survey. This report covers 2017.
In fall 2017, the 360 Center of Excellence and its partners coordinated over 147 manufacturing businesses across Minnesota to provide tours of their facilities for students and educators, job seekers, other manufacturers, and the general public. The event, called the Dream It. Do It. Minnesota Statewide Tour of Manufacturing, took place throughout the month of October. To help understand the implementation and impact of the tours, Wilder Research developed a paper survey that was administered to Tour participants, as well as a web-based survey for the manufacturing businesses that hosted the tours. This report highlights findings from both surveys.
