Enter the RubinVerse: Unlocking Discovery and Building Community with Citizen Science

Enabling the public to access Rubin data and interact with scientists presents a unique opportunity for discovery. Citizen science has been demonstrated to produce new scientific discoveries and increase the engagement of all with science and the scientific community. During this session, we will introduce the Rubin citizen science pipeline that is customized to efficiently connect the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) to the Zooniverse, a well-known citizen science platform. This pipeline provides software tools and documentation to make it easy to create and conduct a citizen project with Rubin data and resources. Through design and documentation, we aim to support best practices and effective, positive engagement with the public and amongst Rubin members. We plan to support a large collection of Rubin citizen science projects.   During this session, we plan the following activities:

  • Introduce and demonstrate current pipeline capabilities including data ingress/egress. 
  • Demonstrate project setup.
  • Walk through a live interactive demonstration of API’s and Jupyter Notebooks.
  • Obtain feedback from potential users about their needs and wishlists.
  • Invite early users for testing.
  • Build the Rubin Citizen Science community.

This pipeline is developed specifically for the Rubin community in partnership with the Zooniverse. With community input, we hope to continue customizing this pipeline to address PIs needs and make the most effective tool for our community.
