Be Part of 2.5 Million Acts of Science during America250!
Originally designed for libraries, this session is open to all event organizers—including libraries, museums, science festivals, and community programs—interested in adding citizen science to their offerings and contributing to 2.5 Million Acts of Science during Citizen Science Month, April 2026, as part of the national America250 celebration.
Libraries, museums, and community spaces are civic hubs—and in April 2026, they’ll also become launchpads for real-world research. Invite your community to take part in simple, fun, and meaningful citizen science projects that spark curiosity and make a local impact.
Join SciStarter and STAR Net to explore how your organization can easily integrate citizen science into events or programs. Whether you're planning a science festival, running a small rural library, or leading a large urban institute, there are flexible, ready-to-go projects that fit your capacity and audience.
What You’ll Learn:
- How libraries and others have benefited from Citizen Science Month
- How to choose simple, engaging, and impactful citizen science projects
- How to align with 2.5 Million Acts of Science and America250 (including AmericaGives)
- Free tools, resources, and project ideas from SciStarter and partners
- Real-world success stories from past participants
Just add citizen science—and turn your next event into something that also helps advance scientific research!
