Citizen Science: Activating STEM Learning Out Of School

May 10, 2017 | Public Programs
Citizen science offers youth and educators unique opportunities to observe and explore the world through authentic research experiences that are necessary for robust STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning. STEM learning is key to fostering informed and engaged youth who are ready to tackle the challenges of our future. Our increasingly complex world depends on helping youth cultivate skills needed to think critically and creatively about 21st Century challenges— skills such as observation, communication, and data literacy. STEM gives all students the building blocks for understanding and improving the systems that power our economy and advance our society.
