Observing Pollinators Kit example.
NNLM R7 is excited to announce the availability of free Citizen Science Kits! Kits come with everything your community needs to participate in collecting real scientific data. And they make a great addition to library of things collections and family programming.
Citizen Science projects are an innovative way to connect individuals and communities to projects that could benefit from robust data collection. Through community science, people can be engaged in programs that can directly improve their community’s health outcomes. Citizen science efforts allow communities to engage with science as well as contribute to a broad project that looks at environmental health factors in their community.
Kits cover one of three topics. Click on the kit title below for full information and to apply (you’ll need to be logged in to see the “Apply for this Grant” button):
