Children Helping Science

Which science activities will YOUR family choose to do today? Our online research studies are from universities across the world. They are fun for families, and serious for science! Find out more at ChildrenHelpingScience.com

All the info you need to get started is available here: lookit.readthedocs.io/en/develop/res… You can start using the platform today by visiting lookit.mit.edu. After May 25, childrenhelpingscience.com will redirect to the new platform as well.

Children Helping Science is relaunching! We are merging with the Lookit platform (lookit.mit.edu) to create a central hub for remote studies for babies & children. Zoom studies? ✅ Surveys? ✅ Any link? ✅ Advertising elsewhere? ✅ Bring them on over! 🧵

And one more thing - the platform is open-source and FREE for researchers to use. We have a thriving Slack community of researchers who peer review each other’s work & share strategies for successful online studies. Come and join us!

Some benefits for families include: ⭐ See all the studies you've participated in ⭐ Fewer forms to fill out - stored demographic data is shared when you participate in a study ⭐ Get email notifications for new studies & communicate with researchers via a single platform

We are featured in this music video "Empirical Girl" - find online science studies for your "Empirical Kids" to participate in at home at ChildrenHelpingScience.com (video features scientists including @CandiceMMills and @E_Bonawitz youtube.com/watch?v=tCnYwF…
