SciStarter, the world's leading citizen science hub, makes it easy to discover thousands of opportunities to learn, contribute, and make a difference. Participants will explore examples of projects, try a few activities firsthand, and leave with practical resources for getting started.

No scientific background is required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn. Whether you're looking for a new hobby, a way to stay mentally engaged, opportunities to connect with others, or a chance to contribute to research that matters, citizen science offers something for everyone.
