21^st CCLC Facilitator Online Survey

Section 1: Intro and Consent

The New York Hall of Science and Education Development Center invite you to complete this survey for 21^st CCLC Making program facilitators.

The survey is voluntary and your responses will remain confidential, unless otherwise required by law. You may withdraw from the survey at any time.

The data from this survey will be aggregated and will be used by the New York Hall of Science, the Institute of Museums and Library Services and the U.S. Department of Education to benefit the museum field and the public and to learn about and consider improvements to the Making program for possible activities in the future.
