We are excited to partner with the Citizen Science Association for their upcoming Science for All Showcase: Explore, Educate, Inspire.

Join us on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at the World Forestry Center, for an interactive evening of workshops, resource tables, and lightning talks. Designed for community connectors including educators, librarians, museum professionals, and others with networking opportunities for evaluators, researchers and project scientists, this event will provide strategies, resources, and connections to bring participatory science to more people. This event is made possible by SciStarter.

What to Expect as a Facilitator/Educator:
