This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This is a course for anyone who wants to get involved in developing a citizen science research project.
Using off the shelf equipment, and free software, course participants will learn how to go from constructing a research question, to analyzing data, to communicating their findings.
This course follows the scientific method through a series of questions. In addressing these questions participants will develop and run their project.
This course seeks to both increase the scientific literacy skills of its participants, as well as increase their level of civic engagement through science.
No matter what action is taken in conducting research there are assumptions being made. This holds especially true in defending the theoretical models and experimental procedures being used in a project.
