What is Citizen Science?
- Citizen science is public participation and collaboration in scientific research.
- It can be done by all age groups and education levels.
- Most citizen science projects require no background knowledge prior to participation. However, some projects often involving coding, data analysis, data management do require varying levels of experience in a scientific discipline.
Citizen science bridges gaps by harnessing the power of people who are motivated by curiosity, a desire to advance research, or a concern about environmental conditions in their communities, then connecting them to projects that benefit from their energy and dedication.
