Assessment tools, including validated instruments, will gauge the VFT’s impact on student engagement, academic gains, and attitudinal factors. The broader impacts encompass supporting early-career scientists, engaging undergraduate students in hands-on experiences, and disseminating outcomes widely to schools, museums, and beyond.

Collaboration with Principal Investigators (PIs) on the development of specific set of modules for the online program.
