Flipping Discovery Based Research: An Interview With High School Students

For the past decade, the international outreach program Discover the Microbes Within! The Wolbachia Project has embraced a learning revolution in discovery-based research, inquiry, and collaborative bidirectional learning. I had the pleasure to capture some of these elements with this video below. Here is the YouTube link if you can't see it.

Recorded on April 22, 2014, three talented high school students from the School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt talk about their learning experiences in peer-to-peer learning. In the last five months, their goals were (i) to become experts in the international outreach program Discover the Microbes Within! The Wolbachia Project (ii) synthesize and retool the content to transmit it back to a metro Nashville high school classroom and (iii) find out what they learned about themselves and scientific literacy during the process. The latter is what this portion of the interview captures and is the "secret sauce" of peer-to-peer learning. Find out what they had to say.
