How can #CitizenScience be used as a tool for #Education - particularly in terms of #AustralianCurriculum? "Projects need to be mapped to the Australian curriculum," says @LBDScience's @krscroggie Workshop C #CitSciOz21

By far, learning was the most frequently reported advantage for #student participation by #CitSci project leaders but some of these other hidden advantages are what really make #CitizenScience participation so special powerful!
Replying to @LBDScience
With #learning as a common advantage described from student #CitSci participation, it takes many forms & crosses disciplinary boundaries. #CitizenScience is perceived to increase awareness & excitement of science, develop scientific skills and scientific thinking.

Excitement was mentioned as a factor that motivates and engages students because #CitizenScience is a novel method to learn in many classrooms. One project leader even said, "bringing citizen science into the #classroom is really exciting and empowering and engaging."

Another one of my favourite advantages is "Future in Science." Students get to experience what #Scientists do, as well as experience careers and universities through participation, and was said to increase their interest in science careers! 👩‍🔬
