Scientific Thinking for All – Building Initiative: How can a decision-analysis tool help make group decisions?

< 1 min read

Our pilot program, developed in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, The Nobel Prize Outreach and Global Access Partners, is based on the UC Berkeley’s Scientific Thinking for All – A Toolkit. It is designed to equip students with the skills to think critically when using and evaluating information, and how to use these tools in the context of real, complex issues.

Building Initiative: How can a decision-analysis tool help make group decisions?

This session will demonstrate an activity where students make decisions based on weighing facts and values with a computer app. They evaluate three different proposals to evaluate how well each option fulfills their values then make a recommendation.
