The professional learning series for those leading, hoping to lead, or wanting to learn more about NASA Citizen Science.
News! A special collection on “The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Citizen Science” has just been released.
The call for individual submissions to the Conference for Advancing Participatory Sciences is open until January 15, 2025.
Having worked in many modes of participatory science with a wide range of collaborators, I can say with confidence that all the modes are all good! I’m a true believer that when citizen science is designed thoughtfully for a given purpose and people, it can generate data, create connection, build knowledge and trust of science, not to mention all answer many scientific questions.
And we aren’t done yet - participatory science is a rapidly expanding universe.
Thank you for bringing YOUR talents, questions, knowledge, ideas, and energy to this effort to both do research that requires many people and opens the power of science to everyone.

2025 Series: Artificial Intelligence, Open Data, Funding, and more
At our 2024 annual meeting, you gave us fresh ideas for how we can help you. We have organized events for 2025 to address the topics that stood out to us as broadly useful and relevant.
. NOTE: that you need to register separately for each event in 2025!
Is there something else on your mind? Please let us know by sending us your idea an email.
* NASA citizen science projects are open to everyone around the world. Participation is not reserved for U.S. citizens or residents. To best convey this, we recommend projects refer to participants as “volunteers,” “participants,” “colleagues,” etc., rather than “citizens.”
