About the EMERGE Curricula

Whether you’re a library leader hosting citizen science programs, an educator bringing data-driven learning into the classroom, a local government official exploring tools for community resilience, a SciStarter Ambassador (a very motivated volunteer getting others involved in citizen science) guiding outreach, or a curious member of the public, these textbooks offer practical, hands-on activities for all skill levels.

No prior experience with coding or science is needed — just curiosity and a desire to make a difference.

Our textbooks continue to be a work in progress! We want your input.
