Thank you for attending the Curiosity Connections Knowledge Booster event on the 6th November at Engine Shed - "The what, why and how of...Electricity and Robotics".

The aim of this event was to help people who educate children aged 5-11 (primary age) to confidently deliver more accurate, engaging, and locally relevant STEM education.
 
We would like to use feedback from this event to help shape and inform future events. Please can you take a few minutes to look over the questions below and add any of your thoughts.

Please don’t feel like you must complete each question in full, we would like to receive any feedback you have but it would be most helpful if it was structured around one or more of the points mentioned below.

Question Title

* Are you a.....

Question Title

* 1. One of the objectives of this event was to be of practical use for people who educate children aged 5-11. This means that educators might feel more confident to deliver STEM content, or feel enabled to try something different or more challenging.

a) To what extent do you think the event was of practical use for you? Please rate this on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is not practically useful, and 5 is totally practically useful .

i We adjusted the number you entered based on the slider’s scale.

Question Title

* b) What do you think would have made this event of more practical use?

Question Title

* 2. Another objective, was to make the science, DT and maths learned in school locally relevant as part of a broad and balanced curriculum.

a) How well do you think this objective was achieved? Please rate this on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is not at all achieved, and 5 is totally achieved.

i We adjusted the number you entered based on the slider’s scale.

Question Title

* b) To what extent do you think being locally relevant is important to a good STEM education ? Please rate this on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is not at all relevant, and 5 is totally relevant.

i We adjusted the number you entered based on the slider’s scale.

Question Title

* 3. We wanted to make the event feel like part of the wider Bristol culture of public talks (think TED talks, Festival of Ideas, Science Café, Funzing, etc), but with a focus on the big ideas in STEM and how we introduce these ideas to the city’s youngest citizens.
To what extent do think this approach is desirable to primary educators? Please rate this on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is not at all desirable, and 5 is totally desireable.

i We adjusted the number you entered based on the slider’s scale.

Question Title

* 4. We'd like to provide feedback to the speakers - both academics and teacher. How would you describe both sections of the talk? Please tick all that apply.
