Here's How Your Library Can Be a Community Hub for Citizen Science! 
Citizen science invites people of all ages to contribute to real research—anytime, anywhere—through small acts of science, like sharing pictures of nature or answering survey questions about your pet’s personality. There’s something for everyone! In this webinar, the SciStarter team will introduce what citizen science is, why it matters, and how libraries of all capacities can connect their communities to projects that fit local interests.
This session will show how to:
- Connect patrons to meaningful science opportunities.
- Access free professional development for staff.
- Use ready-to-go resources, including circulating kits, promotional tools, and more.
- Enrich programs with science that’s easy, fun, and inclusive.
You’ll also get a preview of 2.50 Million Acts of Science, a nationwide campaign launching this April in celebration of America’s 250th birthday, showcasing the collective impact of everyday people advancing discovery.
This webinar will equip you with practical tools and inspiration to integrate citizen science into your library's programming!
Presented by: Emma Giles, Director of Programs, SciStarter and Arizona State University
Darlene Cavalier, Founder of SciStarter
When: Wednesday, October 8 11:00 am PT / 12:00 pm MT / 1:00 pm CT / 2:00 pm ET
