SciStarter Citizen Science Kits

Citizen science enables people from all walks of life to advance scientific research. Citizen science is real science done by people like you! Everett Public Library is part of a first-of-its-kind ASU and SciStarter initiative supported by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to help libraries connect communities to citizen science! 

How does it work? You can borrow kits from Everett Public Library that will help you participate in a specific citizen science project. The Library has two types of kits available for check out: 

• Measuring Light in the Night, which contains a specialized SkyQuality Meter
