Citizen Science Campus

NC State is the pioneer of Citizen Science Campus, an innovative program that aims to simultaneously increase the research capacity of the university and enhance the undergraduate experience. Citizen science and other approaches to participatory sciences can enrich student life while increasing research, discovery, and innovation. The Citizen Science Campus program embeds participatory science opportunities in campus life and makes the campus an incubator for new projects.

We use SciStarter Higher Ed to help you tailor your experiences in the participatory sciences to fit your interests. Through the customized SciStarter-NCSU website, students, faculty, and staff can use their NCSU email address to access projects customized for NC State. On this website, students can access projects assigned as part of a class assignment, and participation can be tracked via NCSU email.

Participate in the Spring 2024 Pack Science Challenge!

The year’s Pack Science Challenge features Sound Around Town, a public science project about human perceptions of outdoor acoustic environments and how soundscapes affect our well-being. From March 25 through April 12, 2024, we invite students and other members of the NC State community to explore their acoustic environment by completing a listening task at multiple “listening stations” across campus (how to participate).
