About

Data Explorer is a website that allows iNaturalist project organizers to import their iNaturalist data, upload education materials, and add pre-built interactive data exploration tools for their project. By giving citizen scientists the chance to explore the data that they help collect, we hope citizen scientists will be encouraged to form their own questions, look for answers to their own questions, and thereby create a more engaging experience for both participants and organizers.

This project was started as part of the Open Life Science mentorship program in Fall 2021.

Add your iNaturalist project
