Welcome to SciStarter!

Thank you for joining SciStarter, where science meets people with purpose.

Since we launched one year ago, we've added hundreds of searchable citizen science projects and supported an active, growing community of more than 15,000 members like you! Now you can rate and review projects, collaborate with researchers and fellow citizen scientists, or recruit participants for your own projects through our new partnerships with Discover Magazine, Instructables, the National Science Teachers Association, and the Public Library of Science (with more on the way!). Any time you're ready, just jump in and tap your inner scientist. Be sure to check back regularly because new projects are added every week!

Happy experimenting!
