Citizen science programs across the country invite the public to participate in scientific research. Through these experiences, participants have an opportunity to observe nature, which naturally leads to asking questions about the natural world. A new project in Minnesota is training leaders of youth groups to use citizen science experiences to stimulate curiosity and inspire motivation to design and carry out scientific research projects. This unique program model fosters authentic inquiry in youth age 10-14 outside the traditional school setting such as 4-H clubs, scout groups,or community
