About the Nampa Public Library's Citizen Science Podcast:

Every month we will feature a Citizen Science Project. Citizen Science is a collaborative effort made by citizens, researchers, organizations and companies to contribute to ongoing scientific projects from all over the world. These projects are designed to be accessible, fairly easy to complete, and interesting!

This month we are featuring the SkNOWledge project. This project is a citizen science initiative sparking collaboration and discussion about snow in the environment and its significance for water resources in our communities. Learners are engaged through outdoor field-based activities by collecting valuable meteorological data from snowfall. Anyone, any-age, can contribute!
