Citizen Science
A collaboration between MTU students and scientists for creating apps that collect environmental data. These apps empower citizens and scientists with mobile tools that allow them to contribute to solving environmental problems and collaborate with scientists.
Collaborate with Citizen Science
Scientists Scientists with ideas for citizen science apps can support the Mobile Environmental Citizen Science program at Michigan Technological University by sponsoring an app. Scientists work with development teams to refine their app ideas and develop the apps. Contact Robert Pastel at pastel@mtu.edu.
Middle School and High School Teachers Middle School and High School teachers interested in using citizen science app can contact Robert Pastel at pastel@mtu.edu. Citizen science apps mix technology instruction with science instruction. They also make a good focus for field instruction.
NCWIT
