We offer trainings for educators, and are developing programs for scientists, practitioners and others interested in community and citizen science.

Events

Our one-hour hybrid Collabinar events invite colleagues from across the globe to bring us their most exciting challenges and opportunities in community and citizen science. Researchers and practitioners provide short presentations describing  their work, and pose questions for discussion. Collabinar attendees engage with the presenter to collaboratively work through challenges and design opportunities. The occasional series ultimately aims to support mutual learning, and advance projects and partnerships.

Educator trainings

Our workshops for formal and informal educators are grounded in research on what works in youth-focused community and citizen science. Participants learn about key practices for youth and educators, which can be applied in a wide range of existing citizen and community science projects, or in the development of new ones. They do hands-on citizen science work, and connect with Next Generation Science Standards.

We currently offer two programs: a half-day workshop, and 3-day (12-hour) institute, and are very open to collaborations that allow us to pilot additional training and support models.

See below for information about upcoming training opportunities, and contact us if you’re interested participating, or bringing a training to your area.
