Do Real NASA Science From Home
Dozens of active NASA projects need human eyes to spot patterns computers miss - classifying craters on Mars, tagging clouds for climate research, or helping track landslides after storms. Most tasks take just a few minutes and come with short tutorials, so no science background is required. It is one of the few ways a student anywhere in the world can say they contributed to an actual NASA dataset.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
