Citizen Science Games
Check out these fun citizen science games developed by research teams consisting of or including female researchers.
Citizen Science is a way for scientists to conduct research tasks that require subjective input but do not necessarily require deep levels of knowledge in the subject matter. Researchers turn these tasks into games that can be played on your computer or phone, at local universities, or even through mailing in ants you find in your yard!
Playing these games makes you a part of real scientific research!
