Zooniverse and IASC: Citizen Science at the Service of the Popularization of Astronomy: Felipe Servulo Maciel Costa at the OAE's 3rd Shaw-IAU Workshop

In times of remote education, astronomy education has also had to adapt. Today, there are citizen science projects that provide tools and resources to support astronomy education remotely, such as the Supernova Hunters and Planet Hunter Tess projects on the Zooniverse platform, as well as the International Astronomy Search Collaboration, an asteroid hunting project. In addition to contributing to astronomy education, such projects also allow citizen scientists and amateur astronomers to contribute to new discoveries of planets, supernovae, stars, and asteroids not yet discovered by the algorithms that scour the cosmos through large telescopes. Such initiatives also have the potential to contribute to the popularization of the field of astronomy and general interest in STEM.
