In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home. After learning about a few everyday people who made big contributions to science, learners will be given resources to start participating in citizen science themselves. Younger audiences may enjoy this activity with adult guidance, but many citizen science projects request ages 14+ to participate.
