Description
The Citizen Science Toolkit for Teachers is largely based on the materials that have been generated in the context of the STEMForYouth project. The aim was to co-create a Citizen Science experiments based on the social concerns of the students and that the results of this experiment had a local social impact. While co-designing the CS experiments, the students undergo through a transdisciplinary scientific and creative process, where the boundaries between disciplines almost disappear. The Citizen Science Toolkit for Social Change differential value is that it allows the teachers and students to co-design a completely new CS project, based on the concerns of the students that are progressively transformed into a scientific experiment on human behavior in urban contexts.
