At the end of the workshop, there was a post-workshop survey given to each student, and the results included: 54% of the workshop participants agreed that the workshop leader was knowledgeable about the subject matter; 45% and 18% of the workshop participants stated that the workshop was either very organized or extremely organized respectively; 63% of the participants agreed that they wanted to learn more about photography; and 54% of the workshop participants agreed that this workshop should be included in future 4-H Ignite Conferences.
