Summer is a great season to volunteer as a citizen scientist. There are all sorts of projects that get you outside and exploring our planet. SciStarter Contributor Lily Bui has collected Ten Awesome Summer Citizen Science Projects in a recent blog post to spread the word about ways to contribute to science this summer. Three of these projects are highlighted below for Your Science Missions. These projects, and dozens more, can be found in the SciStarter Project Finder.
SciStarter founder Darlene Cavelier is looking forward to perusing the entries as a judge for the ArduSat contest presented by Discover Magazine and Astronomy Magazine. SciStarter is a partner of the contest too. ArduSat will let the public design and run their own space-based experiments. Do you have an experiment that you'd like to try? If so, submit your entry by July 14 to ArduSat.
Calling all researchers and science team leaders! Are you looking for citizen science volunteers to help with research? SciStarter brings projects and people together. If you’d like your project featured, submit it to the SciStarter Project Finder for consideration by the editors.
