  1. During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. From cataloging to capturing, every click helps preserve stories for generations to come.

  3. Students from Wheaton Montesorri stepped behind the scenes at the museum—not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this trip showed that science isn’t limited to labs or experts—it’s something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #MuseumLearning #ScienceForAll #communityscience, #scistarter, #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn, #fieldmuseum

  4. Faster scientific discovery-With large datasets available digitally, researchers can use tools like AI and data modeling to discover new patterns, relationships, and even identify new species more efficiently. Participate in a virtual event: scistarter.org/citizensciencem

  8. When biodiversity data is digitized, scientists and policymakers can quickly analyze species distributions, population trends, and threats. This supports smarter conservation strategies, especially for endangered species and fragile ecosystems. scistarter.org/citizensciencem

  9. Digital records help monitor changes over time—such as shifts caused by climate change, habitat loss, or invasive species. This is critical for studying patterns in Climate Change and predicting future impacts. #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscientist #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone #fieldmuseum

  15. A nice overview of #CitizenScience projects based on #SciStarter data analysis. There are 2,346 CS-projects identified, mostly in the field of ecology and environmental sciences. 91% of projects demonstrate a low level of citizen participation:

    👉 arxiv.org/abs/2405.10829

    As for the scientific result, 918 papers indexed in Web of Science were identified. Interestingly, the most productive projects have a lower level of citizen engagement! 🤷‍♂️

  17. Reflecting on my experience at the SOTM Nigeria 2023 conference in Abuja, I can only describe it as an extraordinary blend of education and inspiration. The paper presentations were nothing short of eye-opening, shedding light on various facets of mapping, including cartography and geography. What made this experience truly enriching was the opportunity to interact and obtain ideas with distinguished professors, seasoned cartographers, accomplished geographers, and fellow mapping enthusiasts. Moreover, I had the privilege of contributing to the conference’s success by joining the volunteer team. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Victor Sunday the coordinator of Unique Mappers for his organizing and chairing the conference, I sincerely appreciate the organizers, partners, sponsors, both for the conference in creating an amazing and enlightening event, and for the grant, as I await the promised refund to the entire volunteer team who came from Enugu State to Abuja for the conference, Obasanjo Space Centre, Municipal Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. #SotM2023 #HOTopensummit #TomTom #UMT #LionMappers #AfriGist #NASRDA #SciStarter #WNHub #MiyaAcademy #OSM #OSMNigeria
    SunshineIDR's Diary | MY EXPERIENCE AT THE SOTM2023 CONFERENCE NIGERIA | OpenStreetMap
  18. My reflection on the SotM Nigeria 2023 conference, lots of experience gained, meeting new people, learning new skills and sharing knowledge about OpenStreetMap, Open source data, local community inclusion and a lot more about the geospatial industry in Nigeria and the globe were incredible and amazing. regardless of challenges pose we overcame and conference was a success.

    Lesson Learnt: The SotM 2023 has triggered my passion for OpenStreetMap volunteerism, local community inclusion & development and humanitarian response to open mapping, it has connected me to geospatial experts from different location of Nigeria and across, indeed it was privilege to meet with Mentors geospatial industry, each bit of conversation was an opportunity for learning, inspiring and collaboration for me.

    Knowledge Gained: the knowledge gain was really mind – blowing. presentation made by different participants, were absolutely inspiring, well-tailored. With the likes Prof. Joseph Oloukoi, (AfriGist), Maron Mikel (OSM foundation), Letwin Pondo (SciStarter), Geoffrey Ketaregga (HOT Community project Lead) and others presenters has deepened the knowledge of open mapping and local community inclusion.

    Challenge pose: Inadequate fund to support the conference was the major challenge of SotM 2023 conference, which has disbalance the logistical planning and other arrangement but I saw resilience, commitment, tirelessness of the Local organizing committee towards the success of the conference.

    Future Hope SotM 2024: I look forward to SotM 2024 regardless of financial constraints posed at SotM 2023, that will not underscore relevant of open mapping and geospatial infrastructure in Nigeria. I believe in collaborative efforts of all individuals, as I was fortunate to witness the commitment and tireless effort of the organizing team, I look forward to SotM 2024, were we all work, meet and share knowledge and the trending happening of Open source and geospatial field.

    In conclusion, it is an opportunity to be part of this remarkable event. my Appreciation also goes to the Conference chair, Mr. Victor N. Sunday for his tireless effort and other team member working behind the scene.

    Akor, Daniel Enechojo

    Thank you. SotM Nigeria 2023, for this mind - blowing event. #SotM2023 #HOTopensummit #TomTom #UMT #AfriGist #NASRDA #SciStarter #WNHub #MiyaAcademy #OSM #OSMNigeria

  19. It’s another previllage and opportunity to the part of local organizing committee (LOC) beand community volunteers and also selected as travel grantee to attend the hybrid state of the Map conference in Abuja Nigeria. collaborations with national research and development agency (NARSDA). It was very inspiring moment and knowledge shared was super amazing. I’m getting so much interesting In researching with geospatial tools after the presentation of #Afrigis, #cartoscope and #scistarter and Geoffrey keganttera presentation on food production system in Uganda was very educative . And also discussed more about technical support to local community members of open street Map foundation and sponsorship. I’ll like to appreciate the west and North African hub(WNH) for there special support to unique Mappers . (Afrigist)(URL) *##@{Alt picture}URL
