Citizen Science Month

Posted by SciStarter on March 31, 2026

April is Citizen Science Month! A global celebration of public participation in scientific research.

Each April, Citizen Science Month celebrates the people, projects, and scientific outcomes made possible through public participation. In 2026, we are also working together toward a shared goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science, marking America’s 250th Birthday through collective discovery, service, and impact.

Anyone can participate. No prior experience is needed. Every contribution counts.

Citizen science happens all year long. Join SciStarter to discover ongoing projects and receive updates about Citizen Science Month.
