Register for NR294-002 to participate in Crowd the Tap for Research Credits.
NR294-002 Class Description:
“Lead in water is a toxin that people cannot see, taste, or smell. Leaded pipes and plumbing are the biggest source of lead in water, and as a part of NR294-002, you can help Crowd the Tap build a model to make reliable estimates of whether a home is high or low risk. Crowd the Tap is an EPA-funded citizen science project that promotes access to safe drinking water by assisting individuals and groups with investigations of pipe materials that deliver drinking water to homes. This class is ideal for off campus students who want to gain skills in science communication, research and data collection, and community engagement. Students will be required to serve as liaisons between their community and the university; develop and implement a research question; attend weekly in class training workshops and check-ins; recruit 12-24 households to receive free water testing; and present a final presentation to their community during a class symposium. This class is a great opportunity for students interested in public science, citizen science, and water safety.”
