We loved receiving this email from Dr. Carlyn S. Buckler at the Paleontological Research Institution and its Museum of the Earth:

“Because of SciStarter, libraries are participating in the Mastodon Matrix Project in droves!”

And, of course, we're grateful to our partners and collaborators including Discover Magazine, Astronomy Magazine, the National Science Teachers Association, Public Library of Science, PBS SciGirls, and the Girl Scouts: 

 

“Girl Scouts is thrilled to collaborate with SciStarter on new citizen science programming, which will allow girls around the country to substantively contribute to and impact research that professional scientists are conducting,” said GSUSA CEO Sylvia Acevedo. “Connecting Girl Scouts with SciStarter’s enriching platform further enhances our engaging and comprehensive STEM programming.  Girls who participate in the ‘Think Like a Citizen Scientist’ series will be fully immersed in the scientific process—some for the first time―as well as gain a broadened understanding that science is for everyone.”

SciStarter’s mission is 1) to help lay people find interesting science-related activities to take part in, and 2) to help the coordinators of such projects promote them and find potential participants. We perform this free “match-making” function by inviting organizers to submit descriptions of their projects to our Project Finder tool. We promote these projects on our site and through our partners .
