SciStarter Snippet and API

TRACKING

“SciStarter made it easy for projects with little to no development expertise to implement the snippet. ” Connie Walker (Globe at Night) “When volunteers chose to affiliate their CoCoRaHS activities with their SciStarter dashboard, we can learn more about the other projects our volunteers join or bookmark.” Julian Turner (CoCoRaHS)

“The majority of our approximately 1000 monthly referrals

  • riginate from SciStarter, an indispensible strategic partner

project, ensuring that even when we aren't actively engaged in a recruitment campaign, that we have a steady influx of new users. SciStarter is excellent for citizen science.”

  • Pietro Michelucci, Founder, EyesOnALZ

Leading source of referrals

Future…

Issue formal credits Connect Projects and Tools (Kits?) via Libraries, Makers, and e-commerce

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Lower Barriers to participate in projects that require tools Help citizen scientists AND scientists find and access the right tools

Curate, bundle projects, tools, instructions into kits so people can do >1 project Review and validate tools so scientists & project owners can direct people Consumer Reports-style, 3rd party resource to recommend tools Make Makers/manufacturers’ low cost instruments discoverable. Develop designs and prototypes of tools needed for citizen science projects

Future…?
