We also learned what works well and what does not work well for the Poverty Simulation. For instance, in future iterations we will have more volunteers working at certain stations that were most busy. We also learned that we must emphasize that this is a simulation and therefore not perfectly realistic.
Overall, the Poverty Simulation survey results speak to students enjoying and learning a great deal from the experience and feeling it should continue. Post-event survey comments from the students were fascinating.
