Check je plek

Exhibition 'Check je plek' in University Museum Utrecht

At UMU you can participate in Citizen Science projects and help scientists with their research. We kick off with 'Check your place'. Children are asked to observe their favorite outdoor spot and identify what makes it their favorite spot. Scientists from Utrecht University Kathrine van den Bogert and Gijs van Campenhout examine the collected data and hope to learn more about what children consider a nice place. 'Children use a place differently than adults and researchers think. That's why we ask them to investigate their place themselves. By working with the UMU, we can collect a lot of data and gain insight into what makes something a nice outdoor place,' say the scientists.
