Citizen Science

What is Citizen Science?

When citizens help scientists study the world, collect information and send it to a team of scientists, who examine and process it, it is known as citizen science. Most citizen scientists are volunteers who are interested in contributing to a particular problem. For example, scientists studying insects of a particular region might ask the people in that particular area to observe what insects they see and hear and then tell the scientists.

& CITIZEN SCIENCE

Xperimentor’s citizen science projects are intended to foster inquiry and a research mindset in young people. Each of these individual projects will ask a broad question that young scientists try and answer by collecting and analysing data.

The projects will span over a couple of months over which students will familiarize themselves with the projects, investigate and record their findings. The project will conclude with students communicating their research findings.
