This column highlights formal and informal science research projects that students can join and contribute to by gathering and sharing data. Engage students in science
as you contribute authentic data to eBird by uploading bird surveys conducted in the schoolyard. The data that your class contributes to eBird will be accessible worldwide and will be used by other educators, birders, and biologists. By participating in eBird
and submitting data, students become active contributors to global avian biodiversity and conservation biology research.
