Enhancing Learning About Climate Change Issues Among Secondary School Students with Citizen Science Tools

Citizen science is a valuable tool to inculcate awareness among citizens about climate change issues. This is also the main goal of the I-CHANGE project. On these lines, Hasselt living lab as part of the I-CHANGE project developed a collaboration with a technical secondary school. Digital sensors such as Meteotrackers and smart citizen kits will be utilized under this collaboration where students and teachers will not only collect data, but will be using it in an innovative manner to integrate the findings obtained from its analysis to enhance students learning about climate change issues. This paper presents a structured methodological approach to achieve this goal.
