Systems Thinkers in STEM Environmental Stewardship Pledge

What is the pledge?

The Systems Thinkers in STEM Environmental Stewardship Pledge provided a way to measure to what degree participating students feel they have grown in their interest, understanding, and utilization of skills related to environmental stewardship and systems thinking. The pledge was offered at the midway point of the program for students to fill out the "before" section, thinking back to how they felt coming in to the program. The students were reminded of the pledge at the end of the program, and directed to fill out the "after" section, to see how they'd grown as environmental stewards over the six weeks.
