For each outreach program we learned about through the Field Station Outreach Survey, we asked respondents to indicate what impact they thought the event had on participants.

• Participants experience an increase or change in knowledge of the topic.
• Participants improve their data collection or field skills.
• Participants improve their data interpretation skills.
• Participants change aspects of their behavior and/or attitude.
• Participants learn the difference between anecdotal and empirical evidence.
• Participants express an interest in returning to the field station.
• Participants are more excited to spend time outdoors.
• Participants are more aware of STEM careers.
