The Community Science Kiosk inside the University of Michigan Natural History Museum’s Investigate Labs is an extension of what it means to allow visitors to “do the science themselves.” With the Community Science page, museum visitors take science home with them – whether that is in the form of a water sample kit or perhaps a transcription project on their mobile device! 

Community science, at its core, is all about allowing you, the citizen, to help real-life scientists complete actual scientific studies. The challenge with this project was creating a clean, web-safe interface that allowed the community to peruse projects inside the Investigate Labs without having access to the world wide web.
