PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Environmental Neuroscience for All uses a combination of online and in-person tools and an open science approach to support high school students in carrying out their own original research projects focusing on environmental neuroscience, a fast-growing field of research at the intersection of behavioral science and more ‘traditional’ STEM fields that recognizes the critical role of human brain and behavioral science in better understanding the impact that the environment has on humans, and the impact that humans have on our environment. How is our brain health and wellbeing affected by our environment? Can we improve how we interact with our environment by deepening our understanding of how the human brain is wired? Together with scientists and their teachers and communities, students will explore these and other questions about the multi- directional relationship between the human brain, human behavior, and our environment. We will build on the technology, content, and network of schools and community partners created through our SEPA project BrainWaves and our community science platform MindHive. We will develop curriculum materials and tools grounded in open science practices, which represent a shift away from narrower, more traditional views of the “scientific method,” toward a collaborative and iterative approach to science inquiry. We will also build out an online platform with tools that support collaborative study ideation, peer feedback, data collection and engagement, and communication. Students will learn how to formulate research questions and translate them into testable hypotheses; design, review, and revise environmental neuroscience studies; and collect, analyze, and communicate research findings. Together, the curriculum materials and web-based platform will support authentic community science research spearheaded by teens in a network of environmental neuroscientists, community organizations, and student peers - both locally and nationwide, and both in-person and online. In sum, Environmental Neuroscience for All will connect geographically and socio-economically diverse learners and communities; and in doing so create pathways toward more transparent, accessible, and inclusive environmental science. As such, the project will not only help further integrate human brain and behavioral science, an increasingly relevant STEM field, into preK-12 science curricula, but will also educate a new generation of scientists in open science principles, building the foundations for a STEM workforce that approaches environmental challenges as a collective, interdisciplinary effort.

项目摘要/摘要 全民环境神经科学使用在线和面对面工具以及开放科学相结合 支持高中生开展自己的原创研究项目的方法 环境神经科学，一个快速增长的研究领域，行为科学和更多 认识到人脑和行为科学在更好地 了解环境对人类的影响，以及人类对我们的 环境。我们的大脑健康和幸福感是如何受到环境的影响的？我们能改进我们的 通过加深我们对人脑如何连接的理解来与我们的环境互动？与.一起 科学家和他们的老师和社区，学生将探索这些和其他关于多- 人类大脑、人类行为和我们的环境之间的方向性关系。我们将在 通过我们的SEPA项目创建的学校和社区合作伙伴的技术、内容和网络 脑电波和我们的社区科学平台MindHave。我们将开发课程材料和工具 基于开放的科学实践，这代表着从狭隘、更传统的观点转变为 “科学方法”，走向一种协作和迭代的科学研究方法。我们还将建立一个 在线平台，具有支持协作学习思维、同行反馈、数据收集和 参与和沟通。学生将学习如何表述研究问题并进行翻译。 转化为可测试的假设；设计、审查和修订环境神经科学研究；收集、分析、 并交流研究成果。课程材料和基于网络的平台将共同支持 由环境神经学家网络中的青少年带头进行的真正的社区科学研究， 社区组织和学生同龄人--无论是当地的还是全国的，以及面对面的和在线的。在……里面 总而言之，全民环境神经科学将把地理和社会经济上不同的学习者联系起来 和社区；在这样做的过程中，创造了通向更透明、更容易获得和更具包容性的道路 环境科学。因此，该项目不仅将有助于进一步整合人脑和行为 科学，一个日益相关的STEM领域，纳入K-12学前科学课程，但也将培养一个新的 开放科学原则方面的一代科学家，为STEM工作人员奠定基础 将环境挑战作为一种集体的、跨学科的努力。
