Project Outcomes
Project Outcomes
List any important outcomes or findings not previously reported:
100% of participants were satisfied with the programs and classes. This funding was so beneficial to the community as it provided a much needed resource for electronics that could be used during the pandemic.
Please briefly describe the importance of these outcomes and findings for future program planning:
In the future, all of the tools purchased with ARPA funds will be used for similar programming. Staff will plan a new way to utilize the video supplies as the YouTube class was not well-received.
Explain one or two of the most significant lessons learned for others wanting to adopt any facets of this project:
The virtual reality headsets for education were difficult to learn and the content was limited. Staff figured out how to develop some content but will need to find some training to really be able to create.
