Students learn that ordinary citizens, including students like themselves, can make meaningful contributions to science through the concept of "citizen science." First, students learn some examples of ongoing citizen science projects that are common around the world, such as medical research, medication testing and donating idle computer time to perform scientific calculations. Then they explore Zooniverse, an interactive website that shows how research in areas from marine biology to astronomy leverage the power of the Internet to use the assistance of non-scientists to classify large amounts of data that is unclassifiable by machines for various reasons. To conclude, student groups act as engineering teams to brainstorm projects ideas for their own town that could benefit from community help, then design conceptual interactive websites that could organize and support the projects.

The Role of the Volunteer in Hospice Care. The importance of volunteers to the program cannot be overstated. Without volunteers, we could not provide the kinds nor the scope of services that are so urgently needed to enhance the quality of lives of our patients and their families. In this service, volunteers will learn about the specific functions and responsibilities expected of the volunteer, including the importance of working as a member of the multidisciplinary team working with both the patient and the family.
