Upcoming sessions: March 17

Learn how to host an Acts of Science: Connected satellite event during Citizen Science Month 2026 and join thousands nationwide contributing to real research. As an official America 250 partner, we’re working toward 2.50 million Acts of Science in April—your event helps move the nation toward that goal.

In these info sessions, we’ll walk through the run of show, share ready-to-use resources, answer your questions, and practice a featured project together.

Event Duration: 1 hour

Featured Project: Globe at Night

Participants will play Stall Catchers, a research-based online game that helps scientists identify blocked blood vessels in the brain. These classifications support ongoing Alzheimer’s disease research and help accelerate discovery.

Event Duration: 2 hours

Participants will identify animals in camera-trap images from real wildlife research projects. These observations help scientists monitor biodiversity and support conservation research worldwide.

Event Duration: 2 hours

We’ll meet the scientist behind Rubin Comet Catchers and scan real images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for hidden, active comets. Comets carry important clues about the origin of Earth’s water and the building blocks of life. Every comet you help identify supports scientists studying how planetary systems form and evolve—including our own.
