Best Practice: Plan your setting
for effective education

The setting for your event can provide many opportunities or challenges as you plan activities. A well-chosen site can
provide a unique, inspiring experience for students. Your event layout can influence interactions among participants.

Moreover, participants should feel a sense of safety and belonging at the event before they can learn effectively. They will also experience novelty (reaction to the new environment)
at field day events. Therefore, it is important to find a setting that supports your theme and inspires students. Be
familiar with your setting and plan for anything that may arise.
