OISE 09-37322Lucy FortsonAdler PlanetariumThis project supports the travel of five senior staff and three graduate students to London to participate in a Zooniverse planning meeting at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Zooniverse builds on the success of Galaxy Zoo, a web-based citizen science project based at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. The primary purpose of the meeting is to give the project teams the momentum to take Galaxy Zoo and Zooniverse extensions to the next level and push the field of citizen science forward. Citizen science projects by their very nature provide opportunities to engage the users in activities that encourage a deeper appreciation and understanding of the scientific method. To gain the full educational potential while at the same time maximizing the peer-reviewed science output from citizen science projects requires that all of the stakeholders ? scientists, educators and technologists ? be present and able to cross-communicate, weigh-in, collaborate, discuss, elaborate, and synthesize their needs, the needs and abilities of their customers, and the constraints of the process and system they see. At this stage of development of Zooniverse, it is important that the science and education teams develop a common understanding of each team?s needs and resources so that the fully built Zooniverse will have education and science objectives seamlessly integrated through-out. This project will advance, through widespread public participation, NSF?s twin goals of discovery and education.

OISE 09-37322 lucy Fortsonadler Planetariumtariumtarium这个项目支持五名高级职员和三名研究生前往伦敦的旅行，参加了皇家天文台格林威治的Zooniverse计划会议。 Zooniverse建立在Galaxy Zoo的成功基础上，Galaxy Zoo是一项位于英国牛津大学的基于网络的公民科学项目。 会议的主要目的是为项目团队带来势头，将银河动物园和Zooniverse扩展到一个新的水平，并推动公民科学领域的前进。 公民科学的项目本质上为吸引用户参与活动的活动提供了机会，以鼓励对科学方法进行更深入的欣赏和理解。 为了获得全部的教育潜力，同时最大程度地提高了公民科学项目的同行评审科学的成果，这要求所有利益相关者？科学家，教育者和技术人员？在场并能够交叉交流，称重，协作，讨论，详细和综合他们的需求，客户的需求和能力以及他们所看到的流程和系统的限制。在世俗发展的这个阶段，重要的是，科学和教育团队对每个团队的需求和资源有一个共同的理解，以便完全建造的Zooniverse将具有教育和科学目标无缝整合。该项目将通过广泛的公众参与，即发现和教育的双胞胎目标。
