SUMMARY:Citizen Science: How to get started or take it to the next level
DESCRIPTION:Join Suzi Taylor\, Director of MSU Science and Math Resource Center and SciStarter Ambassador for Citizen Science\, as she discusses how you and your students can get started as a Citizen Scientist. Citizen science occurs when an individual or group contributes observations or data to a larger – sometimes global – initiative led by professional scientists. In the K-12 classroom\, citizen science (also known as community science or participatory science) can complement the curriculum; help students build connections with role models and explore new careers; and inspire scientific exploration as students tie their interests and hobbies to research projects that make a difference in the world. This presentation will describe how to get started (or level up) in citizen science and find projects that match your students’ interests and curriculum. We will showcase several citizen science projects that work well in a K-12 environment. No matter your grade level or subject\, you will leave this presentation with new ideas for incorporating citizen science into your science classroom or extracurriculars. This event is hosted by Washington Science Teachers Association but free for Montana teachers who are MSTA members.
