Public Outreach

Survey Statement: I found the public outreach aspect of the group project a valuable experience.

Student comments on the outreach event (from survey; unedited and unaltered):

 

  • It helped the class with communication and helped some development of persuasion skills.

 

  • I believe the outreach event was very eye-opening. I ate an insect and liked it, which is not what I was expecting.

 

  • I loved the outreach event. I was suprised to see how many people were actually open to trying insects. It also gave me a chance to try eating them which was a great experience.

 

  • I thought the outreach project was awesome and I believe it advertised the class very well.

  • Good to reflect on the knowledge I gained and show it off...
