This is one of my favorite resources to engage anyone and everyone in citizen science! The genius behind this platform is the connection between researchers and the rest of us. Researchers and organization submit their studies that they need help with to be highlighted on the platform.
Inspired Classroom has worked with CILC for 8+years! They are an amazing organization that connects museums, content providers, zoos, and organizations into the classroom via virtual field trips. In an effort to support parents and educators, CILC and their content providers (Inspired Classroom included) is hosting FREE streaming events.
This is a good one! Students can take virtual tours of 12 different museums when they are at home! https://www.travelandleisure.com/attractions/museums-galleries/museums-with-virtual-tours
