Our Process

QUESTION

HYPOTHESIZE

EXPERIMENT

DRAW CONCLUSIONS

SHARE RESULTS

First, we help residents identify issues important to their communities. Then we advise residents as they lead hypothesis formation and refine the research design. Once we have a plan in place, we partner with community leaders to foster the development of sustainable research participation.

This includes:
- creation of innovative, site-specific STEM curriculum for younger scientists
- collaboration with formal and informal learning centers to deliver place-based STEM curriculum
Once our research and experimentation is completed, we guide participants through data analysis and presentation. Finally, we provide opportunities for participants to publicize their results locally, hyper-locally, and internationally.
