Education Working Group will host an open meeting to discuss what our next steps should be to advance the deliberate design and use of citizen science for learning.
We will collectively reflect on what we have learned at the conference and in our own practice to inform an action plan to advance citizen science and learning. Questions we will address include: What does the community need from us as the CSA’s Education Working Group? What research needs to be done? Should we collaborate on white papers or grey literature? on policy initiatives? on seeking funding for cross-programmatic evaluation and/or research efforts?
We would be well served and honored to have you join this discussion. The plan that comes from this meeting will inform not only the Education Working Group’s efforts, but will also contribute to the CSA’s strategic planning.
