DPS Citizen Science Expo Coming in April!

Citizen Science is scientific research conducted by members of the general public. It involves volunteers or non-professional scientists – like our school kids – to collect and analyze data in collaboration with real scientists and researchers.

We are excited to announce that DPS will be holding a Citizen Science Expo at Avery Elementary on April 10, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:30. The Expo is open to all Dedham students in grades 3, 4 & 5.
