2020 - 21 NASA & U.S. Department of Education 21st Century Community Learning Centers Collaboration Phase 4: NASA Engineering Design Challenges

Passive Consent for Student Data Evaluation

Dear Parent:

Thanks for registering you child(ren) to participate in the NASA and U.S. Department of Education 21st Century Community Learning Collaboration Phase 4 Out-of-School Time Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Engineering Design Challenge program. As part of this program, we will be collecting information in order to evaluate the program's overall goals and objectives: increasing students' interest and motivation in STEM while also working as a team to showcase their skills by participating in an exciting engineering science and space project. The information that we obtain through the evaluation will enable NASA and the U.S. Department of Education to understand how best to deliver the course content in out-of-school environments.

The survey is anonymous and voluntary there will be no identifying information on the surveys your child completes. Your child(ren)'s participation in the course does not depend on answering the questions. Your child does not have to fill out any part of the questionnaire that makes him or her feel uncomfortable or that you think your child should not answer. The program will benefit from this survey to the extent that we can identify best practices in the delivery of STEM-related programs that have the greatest chance of increasing students' interest and motivation in STEM classes and careers. If for any reason you do not wish your son or daughter to participate in the evaluation, please sign this form and return it within the first 72 hours of the program.
