New Landscape of Space Exploration: Citizen Scientists and Crowdfunding Citizen Scientists NASA's team extends beyond the agency's professional cadre of employees and contractors. American citizens of all ages can play an important role in contributing scientific research that enhances NASA's exploration objectives. The benefits are mutual: NASA receives much needed help to sort through huge volumes of data and citizen scientists receive valuable education and experience. Participation is particularly critical for young people because they learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on exploration. This experience, in turn, can inspire pursuit of a STEM career, ensuring that NASA has a pool of qualified recruits in the generations to come. Crowdsourcing science is a way to have citizens participate with NASA in a way never before possible. Through science crowdsourcing, large numbers of people can contribute services, ideas, or content with an aim toward advancing the agency's mission. It represents an opportunity for Americans from all walks of life to be an integral part of NASA's team. It also represents a new mechanism that NASA employees can leverage to find innovative solutions to some of NASA's science challenges. NASA provides a number of resources for people willing to contribute as citizen scientists. All are available online, meaning all you need is access to the Internet. Software tools are also provided. Table 3 provides a sampling of these resources and the number of citizen scientist participants. Anyone can log on to NASA's "Be a Martian" website to help NASA tag the thousands of images downloaded from the Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity rovers. Tagging helps NASA scientists by saving research time.
