April 16th, 2016 will mark the first official Citizen Science Day in the United States. Throughout April and May there will be many events to celebrate and get people like you involved in awesome science projects. We're celebrating at Share it! Science News with a giveaway from one of our favorite citizen science projects, Project BudBurst. (Giveaway runs from April 12th-April 18th 2016, details below) What exactly is citizen science? Citizen science is when scientists collaborate with the general public in collecting data and making observations. There are a myriad of projects available from field work to online activities that broaden the abilities of professional scientists by using the collective power of the public. Citizen science is an excellent way to connect kids to authentic science in the classroom, through after-school programs, or camps. ©SBF 2010 To learn more about Citizen Science Day events near you, check out this calendar from Discover magazine or this calendar from SciStarter. For some FAQ's on how to plan or participate in an event, check out this page. Citizen science has been a popular topic here on Share it! Science News. We've featured many different projects that are fun and easy to participate in. We especially like Project BudBurst because it is a project anyone can do, and there are many resources available for students and teachers. You can also get younger kids started with their BudBurst Buddies program. Project BudBurst collects plant phenology data. While this might sound complicated, it's not! Phenology is the study of cycles and seasonal phenomena. When you participate in Project BudBurst you observe plants in your area for seasonal changes, such as budding, bud burst and flowering, then report your observations online. We've been fortunate to team up with Project BudBurst twice now for giveaways, and are excited to have you get involved this year. For more information about the program, check out our post: "Project BudBurst: Easy, Authentic Plant Science" If you are interested in other citizen science opportunities visit these posts: "The Great Backyard Bird Count and other Winter Citizen Science Projects" "Penguin Watch and Other Ways YOU Can Be a Scientist" "Over 70 of the Best Science Web Resources" (Scroll down to the citizen science section!)

After participating in a couple of local bird counts, I am hooked on what we can do as amateur naturalists to be citizen scientists. The National Environmental Education foundation shared the following ideas of how citizen scientists might be involved and the impact we make: source Here are a few ways to be involved in Citizen Science activities locally and on the national level: Project Squirrel has information on squirrels, opportunities to share squirrel photos, and encourages us to observe and record squirrels in our neighborhoods. Hoosier Riverwatch uses citizen scientist volunteers to monitor water quality. Loaner kits are available if needed. I've seen training available in September the last two years and have looked at the many critters monitored during different events. Project Noah encourages us to document and share our nature findings. An interactive map can be used to find nature sitings in our area--we can add to this database and get help in identifying species. There are several ways to be involved in bird counts through the Audubon Society. These involving documenting and sharing the birds found on specific days in specific areas. Local counts are set up for Christmas and other times of the year. Project FeederWatch is another option done from the comfort of one's own home. This runs November to April and involves a $15 fee. The National Wildlife Federation also offers several suggestions for being involved in nature, such as FrogWatch, Monach Butterfly monitoring, star gazing, etc. What do you do to be a citizen scientist? How could you be involved in the local or national level?
