Build Your Own Citizen Science Kit for Sustainable Exploration
Libraries have a unique opportunity to engage their communities in citizen science projects by offering citizen science kits. These kits enable library patrons to actively participate in scientific research and contribute valuable data. This workshop aims to explore the process of designing and implementing citizen science kits in libraries, focusing on sustainable development themes.
Participants will collaborate in groups, brainstorming and designing their own science kits centered around specific citizen science projects related to sustainability. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained practical insights into the process of developing citizen science kits, understanding the significance of citizen science in promoting sustainability. They will be equipped with the knowledge and resources necessary to implement similar initiatives in their respective libraries, empowering their communities to become active contributors to scientific research and environmental conservation.
