Figure 4: Adults attending a family night
in San Diego, California, February 2003 were asked if the program has
‘given you new insight into the education of your child’, and ‘How?’ 55%
said yes. The representative comments below were submitted by respondents
to this question for programs in three different Journey through the Universe
communities. They reflect very typical sentiment.
- “Showed kids that parents think education/science is important.
It was a fun way to spend time with kids.”
- “Great opportunity to learn things that we discussed afterwards
as a family. The material presented was understood by both kids and
adults.”
- “It allowed the children and parents to be 'on discovery' at
same time; it puts them on the same level.”
