  • Dive into the world of citizen science [Elektronski vir] : manual
    Šutić, Gjino
    Its content is perhaps a little unusual, and so is its goal. It is intended as a light read – a theoretical and practical introduction to the world of experimentation and discovery, of the world ... around us and of ourselves. It is suitable for almost all ages, although it will perhaps have greatest impact on children and young adults (12 years old and up). Through its narrative and methodologies, it seeks to help young people articulate bigger questions, and find a way of approaching and answering them through analytical (decon- structive) and constructive tinkering. It also hopes to encourage adults to examine topics and practices mostly neglected and sometimes forgotten – that is, to find their inner playfulness by (re)discovering science and rethinking perspectives on the things we take for granted. In addition to those who are open to a little self-learning and discovery, the book might also serve as a teaching aid to youth workers in STEAM (Science, Technolo- gy, Engineering, Art & Mathematics), as well as general educators who wish to incubate the development of analytical, critical and constructive thinking skills in young people. It looks to do so not by being a source of definitions and a ‘dry read’, but by planting seeds from which curiosity grows, and being a tool for developing better tools along the path of self-learning and of co-creation of a sustainable future. And that would be its basic philosophy: seeking to inspire citizens not to conform to ex- isting global challenges (such as climate change, environmental pollution, inequalities, etc.) or non-stimulative environments and communities, but to grasp the problems, re- form, (re)invent and build a better future. Do not forget that citizens such as you are the ones who build and make society.
