These surveys were designed to provide an opportunity for Tek4Kids to gather feedback about its current projects from those who are receiving its services. The surveys were completed anonymously by 126 students and 26 teachers at Tek4Kids' partner schools. They were written in English and translated into French. Survey responses were then translated back into English.
