The Code explores... evaluating STEM outreach
This short series is designed to help build confidence in evaluation. There'll be three episodes that will bring together insight, guidance and practical tools. It'll help the community share learnings. EngineeringUK will share learning from its own evaluation journey.
Proportionate evaluation in STEM outreach webinar
6 May, 12:30 to 1:30pm
Evaluation is essential. But how much is enough? This practical webinar will introduce proportionate evaluation, an approach that matches the scope, depth and methods of evaluation to the size, stage and purpose of your activity.
Led by Laura Fowler, Evaluation Manager at EngineeringUK, the session will explore:
- What ‘good’ evaluation looks like
- The different levels of evaluation: from monitoring and feedback to trials
- How to choose evaluation approaches that are fit‑for‑purpose and genuinely useful
Plus there'll be time for questions and reflection throughout.
How to use the Measures bank
The EngineeringUK Measures bank is designed to support more consistent and robust evaluation of STEM outreach. In this short video, we’ll walk through what the Measures bank is, and how it can support your evaluation.
Video coming soon!
