A simple way to start creating with SciNatured.

Help us develop daily educational activity cards for kids and families.

Participants can contribute by:

• coming up with a challenge
• researching an interesting fact or topic
• suggesting a simple activity idea
• drawing an illustration
• testing an activity at home
• suggesting a new way to explore the day

Selected ideas can become part of the SciNatured This Day, My Way collection.

No special tools or experience required.

Start with an idea. Help turn it into something another family can use.

Help us create the next episode of our collaborative biodiversity animation.

• visual storytelling
• basic ecology and food-web thinking
• storyboarding
• Canva animation
• simple movement and timing
