Success Patrons very engaged with material, retention was 100% PR boost for library Good balance between teaching and hands-on Partnership with Coeur d'Alene tribe was very successful Turnout and engagement with girls and people of color was disproportionately strong Reflection Lesson Learned 8-18 is too broad a range for a single approach 8-year-olds don't do well with powerpoints Marketing was not optimal, leading to lower than expected turnout Drone laws are complicated and in flux- have a plan and seek approval and present case to stakeholders
