Hunting for Heat with Citizen Science

Vito is invited to participate in a citizen science project going on at the community center. It involves surveying the neighborhood for trees and green spaces that can help reduce air pollution and keep people cooler in the summer. He isn’t sure what to answer because he’s not familiar with what citizen science is. Vito finds out that regular people like himself can actually contribute to scientific research by working with a scientist to collect data. He decides he’s pretty excited to be part of something like that.
