It's been a while since I read anything about that and so the paper Engagement in science through citizen science: Moving beyond data collection (Phillips et al. 2018) was interesting: yes, tell me how we can move beyond just running around outside to collect data. That's fun and important, but that's not science.
Well, turns out that we may want the CS participants to get involved more in the data analysis and project design, but they don't. They are happy collecting data and leaving the rest to the scientists.
Well, that makes sense - we simply cannot engage with everything. There are some things that we just want to do and support but not think about too deeply.
