Have you spotted me: Learning lessons by looking for ladybugs

“你看见我了吗？”“通过寻找瓢虫来学习课程”是一个创新的公民科学项目，目标是来自美洲原住民、农村、农业和弱势社区的儿童。虽然大多数公民科学努力的目标是青少年和成年人，但这个项目使5-11岁的青少年能够为一个主要的瓢虫数据库的发展做出贡献。青少年项目中的成年导师向孩子们介绍瓢虫、入侵物种、生物多样性和保护等主题。没有参加项目的青少年可以独立参加。项目可交付成果包括一个独立的教育计划、一个互联网门户和项目网站、一支专门的志愿者队伍，以及迄今为止开发的最大的、可访问的生物数据库。通过使用带有可识别数据图像的记录作为认证数据点，使数据库更加可靠。合作伙伴包括纽约州4-H、南达科他州4-H、移民工人儿童教育项目、卡尤加自然中心、塞内卡国家教育部暑期项目、塞内卡国家幼儿学习中心课后项目和奥内达加国家课后项目。战略影响将通过创建公民科学项目来实现，该项目提供动手互动、实地体验和可访问的数据，为青年创造独特的学习机会。据估计，近1万名青年将受到这项工作的影响。

"Have You Spotted Me? Learning Lessons by Looking for Ladybugs" is an innovative citizen science project that targets children from Native American, rural, farming, and disadvantaged communities. While most citizen science efforts target teens and adults, this project enables youth ages 5-11 to contribute to the development of a major ladybug database. Adult mentors in youth programs introduce children to topics such as ladybugs, invasive species, biodiversity, and conservation. Youth not affiliated with a program may participate independently. Project deliverables include a self-contained education program, an Internet portal and project website, a dedicated corps of volunteers, and the largest, accessible biological database ever developed. The database is made more reliable by utilizing records accompanied by an identifiable data image as a certified data point. Partners include the NY State 4-H, South Dakota State 4-H, Migrant Worker Children's Education Program, Cayuga Nature Center, Seneca Nation Department of Education Summer Programs, Seneca Nation Early Childhood Learner Centers After School Program, and the Onondaga Nation After School Program. Strategic impact will be realized through the creation of a citizen science project that provides hands-on interactions, field experiences, and accessible data that creates unique learning opportunities for youth. It is estimated that nearly 10,000 youth will be impacted by this work.
