I work for the Leysin American School in Switzerland, where we are
initiating several major citizen science projects and will soon start
collecting the data using ODK.
We're proposing a session for the first congress of the European Citizen
Science Association, to be held in Berlin in May 2016. We're proposing a
session (and a major working group) devoted to integrating citizen science
into schools (up to grade 12). It seems to us that the ODK platform is the
best available for schools to create their own data collection apps and
then to share and work their data on Fusion Tables.
I'll be back home in Hood River, Oregon over the Christmas holidays. I'd
love to come up to Seattle to visit with people from ODK to discuss
possible participation by ODK in the May session in Berlin. And to discuss
ODK's use in citizen science in general.
