Science Week: Be a Citizen Scientist and help NASA monitor planet earth!

Next date: Thursday, 14 August 2025 | 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM

This National Science Week, join us for a live webinar and learn how you can contribute to NASA research!

Perfect for families, students, educators and citizen science beginners, you will learn how you can collect data to help NASA monitor the planet: such as cloud cover, tree height, land cover and land use, and mosquito habitats.

In this 1-hour session, NASA GLOBE scientists will:

• Show how Australian communities can use the GLOBE Observer app to collect and share data with NASA
• Explain how your observations on the ground complement data collected by satellites in space
• Guide you through a live activity so you can start contributing from your backyard
• Answer your questions live

No science background needed — just curiosity and a willingness to look closely at the world around you!

Screening 9:00am - 10:00am in the Burwood Library and Community Hub Ampitheatre or sign up remotely via Zoom.

This event is part of the Citizen Science Corner project, led by the Australian Citizen Science Association (ACSA) in partnership with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) funded through the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Science Engagement Program: Maker Projects for community STEM Engagement.
