A team of Cornell researchers and students designed the Youth Investigators Program to train young people to ask and answer their own research questions and contribute to a range of research projects. The goal of the program is for youth to gain research knowledge and skills, and to recognize the ways they can use those research skills to learn about and impact the issues that they care about.
Over 5 lessons (completed over 8 sessions), all with accompanying hands-on activities in a workbook, the Youth Investigators curriculum covers a variety of topics in social science such as media literacy, scientific methodology, sharing data findings with others, and considering ethics in research. By using an experiential learning approach, the program incorporates positive youth development practices into the research experience itself.
