Help Scientists See Space Better with Machine Learning
Featured Project: Artifact InSPECtor
Meet astrophysicist Dr. Aimee Schechter and help advance real NASA research from your own device! In this free virtual event, you’ll look at telescope images and help teach computers (machine learning) to tell real objects in space from glitches and smudges (“artifacts”) that don’t belong. Dr. Schechter and the SciStarter team will guide you step-by-step, so no experience is needed. Participate from a computer (recommended), tablet, or smartphone.
Register below as an individual participant or hosting organization. For hosting organizations, see our Event Toolkit to prepare for your event.
