With Youth-focused Citizen and Community Science (YCCS), youth
contribute to authentic science. They can do this through data
collection, but also interpreting or sharing findings. But what
does this mean for science learning? To answer this question, we
have been researching implementation of YCCS projects to explore
when and how YCCS works best.
You can learn more about our findings and recommendations by
looking at the Framework for Youth Learning in Community and
Citizen Science and Key
Practices. Delve into YCCS practices in the
project Case
Studies, look through our Resources for Professional
Learning, Classroom Resources and
Resources for Lesson
Planning and explore a range of projects that people
are doing with youth in the “Resources for Selecting a
Project” tool.
