Abstract
Afterschool maker and tinkerer programs for youth have gained popularity due to their ability to engage participants and support their creativity, teamwork and digital literacy. However, there are still many questions on designing the best measurement tools to assess the outcomes of these programs. We investigated the potential of two existing quantitative assessment tools, Grit-S and Alternative Uses Test (AUT), to assess attitude and creativity in the context of a youth afterschool maker program. We describe the results from these assessments and investigate youth attitudes towards them based on interviews with staff.
