Acts of Science: Connected
One project. Two hours. Collective impact on science.
Be more than a spectator—science welcomes you!
Acts of Science: Connected is a featured live event series during Citizen Science Month (April), part of a collective effort to reach 2.50 Million Acts of Science in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.
Join our live 2-hour event from home or gather with others at a local livestream location. Meet the scientist behind a project that needs your help, take part in hands-on research activities, and help move science forward together.
These events are one of many ways people can participate in Acts of Science throughout April.
Interested in hosting a livestream of any of these Connected events?
We are looking for 250 libraries, museums, and schools to host satellite events to livestream these events!
There are five weekly Acts of Science: Connected programs each offered multiple times to accommodate different time zones. Participation in each event counts as an Act of Science toward the goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science.
