Every Act counts! An Act of Science is any contribution to real research—snapping a nature photo, analyzing images, tracking air quality, attending a citizen science event, and more.

This April, we challenge the global community to once again reach One Million Acts of Science. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3: Participate, Report, Share. Let’s make an impact together!

A special event for Service Members, Veterans, and their families! NASA Citizen Science, SciStarter, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Association for the Advancement of Participatory Sciences invite you to try something new: meet NASA scientists and work on real NASA science research projects live, online, together. 

On April 10, at 12:30 PM ET, we'll walk you through the steps to participate in projects together in real-time. During this friendly, highly interactive event, speakers will also share information on how to intern or work at NASA.
