study Creativity & Learning

Citizen science is scientific research conducted, in whole

or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists, often by crowdsourcing. c

Ci.zen  science  yields  SERIOUS  RESULTS  

Provided data for dozens of peer-reviewed papers

Discovered cocaine & hormones in Puget Sound drinking water

Showed that birds migrate closer to poles due to global warming

Recording colors of backyard snail shells to help determine if they’re changed with our warming climate.

Building affordable satellites for missions in atmospheric physics to microgravity experiments.

Analyzing wild algae species for their potential to produce biofuels.

Citizen Cyberscience makes use of technology tools and platforms, such as

PCs and mobile phones, to empower crowd-sourced scientific research
