Are you curious about what your friends think about current events? Have you ever been surprised by someone’s reaction to a meme or an online post? In this Teen Research Program, you will learn how to think like a scientist by designing a research study to investigate your own questions. Together we will look at a study on COVID-19 attitudes. Then we will choose a new topic to investigate together, within the broader domain of how the media affect attitudes. Using the COVID study as a template, we will design, run, and analyze our own study together, picking up strategies for interpreting data, making inferences, and sharing ideas along the way. You will learn how to use scientific techniques to investigate how the media influence attitudes, all the while adding new strategies to your sense-making toolkit and gaining valuable experience for your college application or career path.
