How do you get students excited about research data management and attract over 70 participants to a voluntary workshop? How do you get Librarians excited about teaching a research data management workshop to undergraduates? With the promise of Gummi Bears and hands-on fun! During this workshop session, presenters will break down their experience overhauling a faculty workshop into an active learning session to expose students of all experience levels to basic research data management concepts and techniques. Presenters will walk participants through their design process from inception to delivery, highlighting how Gummi Bears lessened students’ intimidation with this complex topic (20 minutes). Participants will then engage in the workshop activities and work on the same specific deliverables created by students, highlighting the connection between the activities and the specific learning objectives and supported ACRL frames (35 minutes). Half of the group will work the simulation on provided laptops, and half of the group will work the simulation in physical form. A detailed breakdown of workshop assessment will provide insight into the adaptability of the workshop, and how to adjust the workshop to different experience levels, as well as addressing possible lack of technology availability (10 minutes). Finally, participants will engage in a discussion of marketing tactics possible to facilitate student and faculty buy-in, as well as ask any additional questions (10 minutes). Participants will be provided access to workshop materials and a best practices handout for running the workshop at their own institutions
