Children can conduct scientific research just like adult scientists and this event proves it. Citizen Science Month celebrates the contribution every single person can make to answering big and small questions about the world.

Erin Roger from the Australian Citizen Science Association, Nadiah Roslan from the Australian Museum and environmental educator Maria Dunne will tell us how everyone can think and act like a scientist and provide us with hands-on ideas for citizen science projects suitable for our age group.
