NASA Office of STEM Engagement Engineering Design Challenge Impact Surveys: Educator Feedback Survey

Post EDC: Facilitator/Instructor Activity Educator Feedback Form

Instructions: As an instructor of a recently completed NASA & US Department of Education 21st Century Community Learning Collaboration Phase 4 Engineering Design Challenge (EDC) Activity, we are asking that you take part in this questionnaire to evaluate your experiences with the NASA EDC you instructed. Your answers to these questions will help us learn more about the activity, including what worked well and what we may improve on. Please complete the questions on this survey to the best of your ability. This survey is voluntary. You do not have to take the survey or answer any questions you do not want to. Also, your responses are confidential, meaning that your name will never be tied to your responses and no one will know how you responded to these questions.

We also want to validate the estimate for how long it takes to complete this survey. Therefore, we ask that you please note the time that you start this survey because we will ask at the end how long it took to complete this survey.

Thank you very much for your help!

If you wish to participate in this survey, please continue.
