A local Conway student is turning to the community for support on a school project, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Crowdsourcing Knowledge in the Digital Age

In a recent post shared in a Facebook group, a high schooler asked residents to complete a brief questionnaire for a sociology project. The student, whose first name is Kayla, explained she’s researching how different generations perceive social change—and she needed a range of ages to weigh in.

“I need people of all ages to answer a short 5-question survey. It won’t take more than a minute, and it’s anonymous,” Kayla wrote. “Thank you so much for helping me with my project!”

Within hours, the post had dozens of comments and shares, with locals offering encouragement and their time.

Support from the Community

“Absolutely filled it out! Good luck, Kayla—you’ve got this!” wrote one user. Others tagged friends and family members, urging them to participate so the student could collect a well-rounded sample for her project.

Several adults commented on how impressed they were by the student’s initiative. “I love seeing young people use community resources in such a smart way,” one commenter noted.

This interaction highlights the growing trend of students using social platforms to crowdsource real-time data. It’s a method increasingly encouraged by educators who emphasize real-world engagement in research.

Why Community Input Matters

Teachers from Conway Public Schools have shared how valuable it is for students to gain insight from diverse perspectives—not just their classmates or family members.
