Abstract/Summary A report following the 2016 Environmental Health Summit recommended engaging citizens in creating their own knowledge and solutions, thus ensuring that their concerns are adequately addressed and promoting sustainability of community projects. Indeed, citizen science has the potential to initiate a cascade of events with a positive ripple effect that includes a more diverse future STEM and biomedical workforce. This SEPA proposal involves the establishment of WE ENGAGE – an informal, citizen science-based, environmental health experiential learning program designed in partnership with and for under resourced communities struggling with health and environmental health challenges. Its purpose is to actively engage and build the citizen science capacity of citizens living in a single cluster of three contiguous under resourced, minority Cincinnati neighborhoods where generational challenges continue to plague residents despite the presence of established academic-community partnerships. Our hypothesis is that community-informed, experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom that are structured, multigenerational, and story-based will encourage a) the active asking, discussion about, and answering of relevant complex health and environmental questions so that individuals and communities can plan action steps to make better health choices and pursue healthier environments, and b) greater interest and confidence in pursuing formal biomedical/STEM education and STEM careers. Our program has three specific aims: 1) We will co-create tailored story- based (graphic novel style) STEM education materials with a community advisory board and offer informal STEM education and research training to our target communities; 2) we will facilitate the application of scientific inquiry skills to improve health via community-led health fairs that use an innovative electronic health passport platform to collect data and through facilitated community discussions of health fair data to generate motivating stories to share; and 3) we will facilitate the application of scientific inquiry skills to foster community pride and activism in promoting healthier/safer built environments via walking environmental assessments. As in aim 2, facilitated discussions will be held to spur future community based participatory research studies and interventions. Critical to our success is the concept of storytelling. Storytelling is a foundation of the human experience. A key purpose of storytelling is not just understanding the world, but positively transforming it. It is a common language. Bringing together STEM concepts in the form of a story increases their appeal and meaning. Later, the very process of community data collection gives individuals a voice. In a data story, hundreds to millions of voices can be distilled into a single narrative that can help community members probe important underlying associations and get to the root causes of complicated health issues relevant to their communities. Through place based, understandable, motivating data stories, the community's collective voice is clearer—leading to relevant and viable actions that can be decided and taken together. From preventing chronic disease, to nurturing healthier environments, to encouraging STEM education — stories have unlimited potential.

摘要/摘要 2016年环境健康峰会之后的一份报告建议参与公民创建自己的 知识和解决方案，从而确保他们的关注得到适当解决，并促进可持续性 社区项目。确实，公民科学有可能发起一系列级联，具有积极的连锁反应 其中包括一个更长的未来的茎和生物医学劳动力。该SEPA提案涉及建立 我们参与 - 一项非正式的，基于公民的，基于公民的环境健康专家学习计划 与健康和环境健康挑战斗争的资源不足的社区的合作伙伴关系。它是 目的是积极参与和建立一个生活在三个连续的集群中的公民的公民科学能力 资源不足的少数民族辛辛那提社区，世代相传的挑战继续困扰着居民目的地 建立的学术社区伙伴关系的存在。 我们的假设是，在课堂之外，社区知识，经验丰富的学习机会 结构化，多代和基于故事将鼓励a）主动询问，讨论和回答 相关复杂的健康和环境问题，以便个人和社区可以计划行动步骤 更好的健康选择和追求更健康的环境，b）对追求形式的更大兴趣和信心 生物医学/STEM教育和STEM职业。我们的计划具有三个具体的目标：1）我们将共同创建量身定制的故事 - 基于社区顾问委员会的基于（图形的小说样式）STEM教育材料并提供非正式的STEM 对目标社区的教育和研究培训； 2）我们将促进科学探究技能的应用 通过社区主导的健康展览会改善健康，这些博览会使用创新的电子健康护照平台收集数据 并通过对健康公平数据进行准备的社区讨论，以产生激励性的故事； 3）我们将 促进科学探究技巧在促进更健康/更安全的社区自豪感和行动主义方面的应用 通过步行环境评估建造环境。与AIM 2一样，将进行准备的讨论以刺激未来 基于社区的参与研究和干预措施。 对我们成功的至关重要的是讲故事的概念。讲故事是人类经验的基础。关键目的 讲故事的不仅仅是了解世界，而且会积极地改变世界。这是一种通用语言。带来 以故事形式一起使用STEM概念增加了它们的外观和意义。后来，社区的过程 数据收集使个人发表声音。在数据故事中，可以将数百万至数百万的声音蒸馏成一个单一的声音 叙事可以帮助社区成员探究重要的基础协会，并达到根本原因 与社区有关的复杂健康问题。通过基于位置的，可理解的，激励的数据故事， 社区的集体声音更加清晰 - 可以合作和可行的行动，可以合作。 从防止慢性病到培养更健康的环境，到鼓励STEM教育 - 故事 无限的潜力。
