A global partnership between the Museum of Science and SciStarter aims to mobilize online science audiences into active participation in real-world research.

The initiative will connect millions of social media followers with hands-on projects in their communities, ranging from biodiversity tracking to astronomical data analysis and public health research.

People can get involved by visiting mos.org/take-action and scistarter.org to find available projects and opportunities.

The press release, issued by Business Wire, includes statements from Museum President Tim Ritchie and highlights the goal of broadening access to hands-on science participation.

Museum leadership says the partnership builds on existing reach across onsite, school, and online channels to enable broader participation.

The Museum already reaches more than 300 million people annually across digital platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram, with tens of millions of engagements and hundreds of millions of video views.

SciStarter founder Darlene Cavalier emphasizes turning curiosity into actionable contributions that advance planetary health, human health, and space exploration by linking curated projects with trusted content.

The partnership leverages SciStarter’s network of citizen science projects to extend the Museum’s global reach and participation.

The collaboration amplifies the Museum’s digital impact—reaching hundreds of millions of viewers and engagements each year—through a global citizen science network.

Representatives say the collaboration will unlock a new level of public participation in science at a scale not achievable by a single institution.

Both organizations describe missions: the Museum of Science to inspire lifelong science interest, and SciStarter to connect people with citizen science across disciplines.
