Imagine that you have set up a project wherein you would like to make use of Citizen Design Science. Which guidelines are important in creating your own Citizen Design Science project? Outline the goal of the project and the benefit for all involved (and not involved) to motivate the citizens to participate Get a team of (interdisciplinary) professionals and academics to lead and moderate the project. Check the base requirements for participation and give for example a minimum and maybe maximum age to have a base of people with reasonable characteristics Set a minimum number of participants to get representative data Work out a code of conduct for all participants Work out a schedule to announce interim results to keep the participants on board. Get official support from for example (district) mayors and other authority Get the media on board to keep all participants and officials informed throughout the whole project Make use of modern, common technology to make participation as easy as possible – like creating a smartphone App. Communicate the project to the local university to get support or, after successful completion, show the possibilities of citizen design science projects
