Think/Act Like a Researcher: Exploring Citizen Science
PBSC’s Think/Act Like a Researcher: Exploring Citizen Science project provides a possible avenue to higher education for underserved students.
The College hosts a one-day event at its Loxahatchee Groves campus, offering high school students an exclusive introduction to Citizen Science through face to face information, promotion and hands-on activities, targeting Underrepresented Populations for Biomedical Research. After orientation on the day’s activities, students are grouped according to their academic interests to participate in relevant activities and projects at various work and information stations.
The PBSC Library has partnered with three local high schools to attend this day of promoting Citizen Science for the purpose of dual enrollment or post-secondary start. The project strives to ensure enrollment and persistence leading to a pipeline of high school graduates for academic and career paths in health sciences.
The day of exploration, education and discovery is also intended to further students’ skills sets and elevate their understanding that college is possible for them.
