Many citizen science projects may be integrated into science classrooms, libraries, or museums.

Here, visitors can learn about new citizen science projects and find out how they can get involved. CitizenSci is frequently updated and features writers such as Sarah Newman of the citizen science platform CitSci and Alycia Crall of Citizen Science Central at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
