• Can your project leverage community stakeholders (such as conservation organizations, schools of education, or local government) to provide training, expertise or participation in existing field investigations?
• What are issues of local concern to your area’s youth? Can students design their own investigations, gather real world data, and present results to vested “clients” in the community?
• How can your project provide a social network that supports youth in acting and thinking like scientists while supporting them in gaining the social and cultural capital that help them to exist in their worlds?
