NASA Citizen Science Community Workshops
Celebrating and improving citizen science efforts
GMRI is proud to host the 2020 NASA Citizen Science Community Workshop. Initially conceived as an in-person gathering of the practitioners, scientists, civil servants, and partners involved in NASA citizen science work, this year's workshop is being held online. This event series is intended to promote exchange of scientific and engagement practices that make citizen science projects effective.
Workshop goals:
- Provide members of the NASA Citizen Science practitioner network with opportunities to connect with others in the community.
- Share actionable insights and strategies to advance work towards NASA’s dual goals for citizen science: advancing scientific research and building understanding of the process of science.
- Celebrate the work and accomplishments of the NASA Citizen Science practitioner network.
GMRI is hosting the second annual NASA Citizen Science Community Workshop in collaboration with NASA in order to advance scientific research and build a more scientifically literate country. Due to COVID-19, the in-person meeting will be replaced by an online event series beginning on May 27, and continuing every second Wednesday of the month through September.
The workshops focus both on the NASA Citizen Science Community (the people and scientists managing projects) and the citizen scientists contributing to and assisting these projects.
