CCL Concept & Objec3ves
“Citizen Cyberlab will conceive, research, test and evaluate on-line collaborative environments and software tools that stimulate creative learning through the design and conduct of scientific experiments that create new knowledge.”

promote learning

To this End:
Ci3zen Cyberlab emphasizes direct par*cipa*on of ci*zens at all stages of
evalua3on and research,
in par3cular via the successful ThinkCamp events developed by The Mobile
Collec3ve.
Margaret Gold – The Mobile Collective 5
1. Build on exis*ng online communi*es of volunteers and their established social networking infrastructures,
Therefore TMC proposed to:
Margaret Gold – The Mobile Collective 6
2. Organize a series of ‘ThinkCamps’ for crea*ve problem solving and collabora*ve learning where scien3sts and ci3zens can
• meet, • share their experiences, • devise new projects for Ci3zen Cyberscience, and • further develop the Ci3zen Cyberlab toolkit.
Therefore TMC proposed to:
Margaret Gold – The Mobile Collective 7
• directly benefit community engagement and par*cipa*on,
• provide an opportunity for improvisa3onal crea*vity and tacit learning, and
• serve as a litmus test of soQware tools for Ci3zen Cyberscience.

Broadcast and share the goals of the Ci3zen Cyberlab project to as wide a community of ci3zen science prac33oners and scien3sts as
possible, in order to learn from each other and support each others’ ini*a*ves in a collabora3ve and mutually beneficial fashion
Stated Objec3ves Met
Establish the founda*ons for an engaged community of volunteers in each of the CCL Pilot Projects, and an ac*ve community of contributors to the development of the CCL
tools and plarorms for ci3zen science
Raise awareness of ci3zen science in general, such that more people are aWracted to par*cipate in
projects across the globe
