<br/>As the scientific enterprise evolves to meet the needs of modern researchers, we are seeing a greater emphasis on the value of science outreach efforts, both as a practice and as a profession.  This, in turn, has placed a greater emphasis on the requirements for assessment and evaluation strategies related to science outreach. However, there are virtually unlimited ways to design programs and activities related to science outreach making it incredibly difficult to establish standard tools to measure impact. Drawing from direct experiences at RockEDU Science Outreach at The Rockefeller University, as well as findings from SciOut18 -- the first national meeting dedicated to the field -- this talk will touch on the core elements for determining science outreach success in the context of individuals and communities.
