MSU Offers First Citizen Science Kits

The Science Math Resource Center at Montana State University, a STEM outreach center housed in the Department of Education, is offering free citizen science kits to 10 Montana programs that serve middle school students.

Applications are due Friday, June 23, and kits will be sent to successful applicants immediately afterward. Programs are asked to use the materials by Sept. 30 and fill out a short post-program survey.

Each kit includes a video tutorial, instructor’s guide and physical materials to complete two citizen science projects from instructions online: one on Alzheimer’s disease and another on relationships between the eye and the brain.
