Contribute to a science project & Be a Community Scientist

Volunteering is not always limited to the works which can contribute with the presence of you . It is available on virtual platforms also.

If you are really passionate to help others or contribute to the scientific community, there are some opportunities to join and help leading scientists. These are called people powered research projects. Large data sets are available with these projects from various sources like telescopes, handwriting, reports of the field officers. The scientists seek volunteers' support in recognizing small objects like handwriting, a series of pictures and series of rays. These projects seek human support to cut down the operating costs and to increase the accuracy of the tasks. In these programmes , the participant will be provided a short guide to the relevant tasks. As an appreciation of the participation, some of these projects were allowed to publish the name of the contributor with the findings of the project. I.e. a project related to find dust particles of starlets by using a bulky images has offered the volunteer an opportunity to name the particle with his name. These are good opportunities to learn science and keep the desire towards the science of kids and students. I have shared a similar link that you can try and find a chance to participate in a such programme. There are many projects available related to space science, Botany, Climate change, Psychology, Physics etc.
