Celebrate Urban Birds engages urban and rural residents in science, cultural, and community activities related to birds. Participants receive or download a free kit with posters, flower seeds, and data forms, then observe a small, defined bird-watching area for 10 minutes and report on the presence or absence of 16 species of birds.

Crowdsourced analysis of cancerous tissue: using images from Cancer Research UK volunteers help to classify archived cancer samples. +
Citizen Sort is a website that contains tools and games to classify various species of insects, animals, and plants. +
Several Citizen Science projects are custom made, i.e. do not rely on software packages that does "most of the job". +
This is just a project description that can be used for testing .... At some point it will be removed.... +
Cornell Lab develops interactive online tools to engage hundreds of thousands of people in contributing bird observations and exploring the results. +
CrowdCrafting is a free, open-source crowd-sourcing and micro-tasking platform powered by the PyBossa software. This platform enables people to create and run projects that utilise online assistance in performing tasks that require human cognition such as image classification, transcription, geocoding and more. CrodCrafting is there to help researchers, civic hackers and developers to create projects where anyone around the world with some time, interest and an internet connection can contribute.

According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esp_game Wikipedia] (10/2013), The ESP Game is an idea in computer science for addressing the problem of creating difficult metadata. The idea behind the game is to use the computational power of humans to perform a task that computers cannot do (originally, image recognition) by packaging the task as a game. It was originally conceived by Luis von Ahn of Carnegie Mellon University.
Google bought a licence to create its own version of the game in 2006 called "Image labeler" in order to return better search results for its online images. Google's version was shut down on September 16, 2011 as part of the Google Labs closure in September 2011. +
Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations. Einstein@Home uses volounteers computer's idle time to perform physical calculations. +
EpiCollect.net provides a web and mobile app for the generation of forms (questionnaires) and freely hosted project websites for data collection.
Data are collected (including GPS and media) using multiple phones and all data can be viewed centrally (using Google Maps / tables / charts). +
EpiCollect provides a mobile phone and web application for the generation of forms and freely hosted project websites (using Google's AppEngine) for many kinds of mobile data collection projects. Data can be collected using multiple mobile phones running either the Android Operating system or the iPhone (using the EpiCollect mobile app) and all data can be synchronised from the phones and viewed centrally via the Project website (hosted on AppEngine) or directly on the phones. +
EteRNA is a browser based game, developed by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University, that engages users to solve puzzles related to the folding of RNA molecules.The project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Similar to Foldit—created by some of the same researchers that developed EteRNA—the puzzles take advantage of human problem-solving capabilities to solve puzzles that are computationally laborious for current computer models. +
The EveryAware platform has been explicitly designed to
support subjective impressions in conjunction with sensor
data acquisition by introducing a extendable data concept.
A central server efficiently collects, analyses and visualizes
data sent from the arbitrary sources. +
EveryAware intends to integrate theoretical and practical techniques from the disciplines of environmental sensing, computer science, statistical physics and social science to collect and analyse physical measurements from sensors and associated subjective opinions of participants. Real-time analysis results are then provided to you through this website. Different case studies integrate participatory sensing with the monitoring of subjective opinions. +
Quote: Did you know that, thanks to a common little snail you can find in your garden, in the park or under a hedge, you can see evolution in your own back garden?
We know evolution is a very slow process and it's the tiny changes accumulating over a long, long time that got us here. And you can see some of those tiny steps and help our research by joining the Evolution MegaLab.

A mobile application plus a platform which enables local communities to use a smartphone to compile and share a report on forest activity around their habitat. +
Experimental tribe is a web platform for gaming and social computation. It helps researchers to realize web games/experiments and it let people join, while enjoying, the scientific research. +
EyeWire is a game where volounteers map the 3D structure of neurons. By playing EyeWire, they help map the retinal connectome and contribute to the neuroscience research conducted by Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at MIT. The connectome is a map of all the connections between cells in the brain. Rather than mapping an entire brain, we’re starting with a retina. +

Fold It is a computer game enabling volonteers to contribute to biochemistry research by resolving proteins puzzles. The game is part of an experimental research project, and is developed by the University of Washington's Center for Game Science in collaboration with the UW Department of Biochemistry. +
