Esler Jennifer - Score: 97.000
MODS provides critically important STEM education to its community and audiences through excellent programs and exhibitions. MODS reaches an amazing number of people and uses  multiple marketing channels. With 14 years of annual surpluses MODS is beautifully managed. Although accessible, have to score an 8 here due to date of completing evaluation.

I would have liked to see more information on service to underserved communities and those programs. The website feels very commercial.

Cleary articulated mission, goals and objectives.  Strong impact reporting, financial explanation and history.  Surprised evaluation strategy did not mention inclusion of visitor studies beyond demographics/attendance.  With such a strong focus on STEM learning I would have anticipated more detail about evaluation tied to visitor engagement and learning outcomes.  Accessibility lost 1 point due to 504 Self Evaluation completed in last 5 years
