One of the win-win aspects of citizen science is the opportunity to support public science learning. As people engage in the process of science, they learn – don’t they?

Learning can’t be taken for granted, especially when funders and partners want data that demonstrate participant outcomes. This panel invites in experts to talk about how to design for learning – starting with naming specific goals, and working through ideas to measure outcomes. We will also think through the roles that all project partners play in influencing learning opportunities.
