Citizen Science in Southeast Asia
Dates: 3-4 March 2017
Location: Yale-NUS College Campus
We are excited to welcome Dr. Caren Cooper as our keynote speaker (http://www.carencooper.com/). The format of the symposium will be a mixture of talks and workshops, with the goal of increasing understanding of citizen science both locally and internationally. To that end, we look forward to talks on topics such as the role of technology in citizen science, and bridging citizen science with pedagogy.
Below is a tentative schedule. Updates will be included as speakers are confirmed. There will be a single session for morning talks so that all participants can hear all talks. Afternoon sessions will have participants divided into small groups to discuss and share experiences, challenges, and solutions on various topics, after which we will reconvene to share notable findings with all participants.
