Are you a science hobbyist?

We need your help with a new National Science Foundation sponsored
research study that will investigate the characteristics and educational
experiences of people who are active in science hobbies. More and more
people are engaging in science hobbies; schools and science centers
would like to know more about the characteristics of science hobbyists
and how these organizations might better support hobbyistsí networking
and education.

What will happen if you take part in the study?

The information gained from this research can help science educators and
researchers understand how to better teach science in schools and
museums, and how to design better community-based science programs.
Participation in this study is voluntary. Information you provide will
be anonymous. If you complete the survey, you may elect to enter a
drawing for a $100 Target gift card.

Please read the consent letter below and when you are ready to complete
the survey click on this link
