I started working with 6 high school & middle school students interested in citizen science. We started with Galaxy Zoo a few weeks ago and last week, I hosted an in-person livestream event for 14 people (4 students/10 adults), 1 hour for Dark Energy Explorers.  

It's a start.  Thank you for the opportunity to learn and share.
