A Program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education
Journey through the Universe
Program Overview
 
 

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.”
