Citizen Science and Crowdsourcing Show & Tell

Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesPublic Engagement – Festival/Exhibition

Description

The Citizen Science and Crowdsourcing Show & Tell event took place in the Event Space of the National Museum of Scotland (NMS) on Tuesday 24 November 2015, from 13.00 to 16.30. It was one of the two events organized by our network (in partnership with the NMS) on the same day, the second one being Dr. Erinma Ochu’s talk ‘Citizen Science for Community Engagement’, which took place in an adjacent venue, from 15.00 to 16.30.

The Show & Tell was modelled on ‘science festival’ events. It was free and open to the public, and its rationale was to gather together a number of individuals and organizations to show-case projects and initiatives on citizen science and crowdsourcing. The response was impressive, with nineteen individuals and groups demonstrating their work to invitees and visitors of the NMS.
