Abstract: Volunteers in citizen science projects contribute their labour to the activities of science, becoming involved in the advancement of science. With the advent of digital technologies, the involvement of non-scientists in scientific projects has mushroomed (see Curtis et al., 2018). However, the nature of the participation in citizen science has been limited in a variety of ways. We have adopted the term citizen inquiry to describe our approach. Our interest in inquiry learning was developed in the Personal Inquiry project (see Sharples et al., 2015) which developed an approach to supporting inquiries of personal relevance in science learning. We developed software to support pupils, our first iteration of the nQuire platform. Further projects explored ways in which such software could be of use in encouraging participation in citizen science inquiry. We designed the later iterations of the nQuire platform (nquire.org.uk) as a citizen science and inquiry learning tool, that can support any individual or organisation (with or without research background) to set up and manage their own scientific investigations. We report here on the impact of this work over a fifteen-year period. We discuss the ways in which this software has allowed enhanced participation in citizen projects and the potential development of this approach for democratising citizen science. (More)
