This April, Citizen Science Month invites people everywhere to take part in something special: 2.50 Million Acts of Science in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
SciStarter weekly online events
In addition to hundreds of projects and events scheduled throughout the month, our friends at SciStarter are organising weekly, online events where volunteers from around the world will work on the same project at the same time, guided by the scientists leading the research.
These events are part of Do NASA Science LIVE! and the Acts of Science: Connected series, and all participation during these events counts toward 2.50 Million Acts of Science.
Events featuring Zooniverse projects

Small acts of science lead to big impacts.
We hope you’ll join us in April!
