A Citizen Science Kit is a small box you can check out from participating libraries that contains everything you need to help scientists answer questions they can’t answer without volunteers like you!  (Nobody knows everything but everyone knows something—that’s the power of citizen science! We all have something to add to help accelerate important research.) First, check to see if your local library is offering any of the kits described below. If so: go to your library and check out a kit! Detailed instructions are in the kit. If not: you can still participate in the projects on this page or any of the thousands of projects using the Project Finder on SciStarter.
