El proyecto de ciencia ciudadana CoAstro: un Condominio de astronomí@ involucra, en un proceso mediado, a profesores, astrónomos y comunicadores científicos en la investigación y en las prácticas de comunicación y educación científica. En CoAstro, los objetivos de la investigación científica se alinearon con los de la comunicación y la enseñanza de la ciencia para involucrar al público con escaso conocimiento de la astronomía. Uno de los objetivos de CoAstro era comprender los efectos de las relaciones establecidas entre los participantes, ya que son aspectos clave para el compromiso. Se realizó un estudio de caso, siguiendo a los participantes durante un año académico, con datos recogidos mediante entrevistas y observaciones participantes. A estas técnicas les siguió una reunión de grupo focal. Los resultados muestran los beneficios personales de las relaciones establecidas, los efectos institucionales, los cambios en los roles de identidad percibidos y la capacidad de entender y comprometerse con la investigación astronómica y la comunicación/educación astronómica. La comprensión de las interacciones sociales contribuye a aumentar el alcance de los proyectos de ciencia ciudadana y demuestra su relevancia para involucrar a los científicos, los comunicadores de la ciencia y las comunidades escolares, señalando un camino para el empoderamiento de la comunidad y el compromiso con la ciencia; es decir, un camino para desvelar una ciencia ciudadana que pase de la mera ciudadanía al desarrollo personal integral: actitudes, pero también conocimientos.
