Citizen Science with I See Change

Learn about citizen science projects and find out how you can help collect information about climate and weather in New Orleans. Citizen science allows volunteers of all ages and skill sets to answer real-world questions and collect data. In this family-friendly workshop, citizen scientists will learn about ways they can contribute to scientific data collection, including a local project with I See Change. Attendees will receive rain gauges from I See Change and learn how to install them to record the amount of water they collect. Registration is encouraged and can be done online or at 504-596-2596.
