Did you know you don’t need a lab coat or a science degree to contribute to real scientific discoveries? Operation: Community Science is your inside look at how ordinary people — families, retirees, students, curious minds of all ages — are helping scientists answer big questions about our world.

We’ll explore:
🌱 How to collect real data right in your own backyard
📸 How you can classify images, analyze videos, or contribute online from home
🎮 Even science-based games that support real research
🔎 The SciStarter website and how to find projects that match your interests

Whether you love the outdoors, prefer working from your couch, or want meaningful ways to explore science with your kids, there’s a project for you. This program is open to all ages, with a focus on helping older kids and adults learn how they can participate — and involve younger family members along the way.

You don’t have to be a scientist to make a difference.
You just have to be curious.

All ages welcome!
