Ex) getting volunteers through media. Crowdfunding is the funding of a project by raising money through online services. People are able to donate/gift this funding on the internet. With Citizen Science individuals all over the world can contribute to the findings of data and scientific studies. They help make discoveries and conduct experiments for the benefit of research. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716624197 E'Niyah Berry https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716625706 Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically by using the internet. An example of this would be gofundme because a person can make a fundraiser online to get funds from all sorts of people.

Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining information or input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people. This can be either paid or nonpaid and an example of it would be game FoldIt which computer game allows players without any prior biochemistry knowledge to compete and solve puzzles by folding protiens.

Citizen science is when the public voluntarily helps conduct scientific research. This can be done by designing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and solving problems. An example of this would be the Butterfly Census or Bird Census.

These concepts are similar in the sense that they all use people through the internet for a cause but they are for different causes. Like crowdfunding is for fundraising and crowdsourcing and citizen science are for data.]]> 2023-09-22 16:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716625706 Mario Guzman Perez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716628034 I'd like to introduce the alarÏs project from the SOAR InvenTeam to the web as an example of crowdsourcing and citizen research.

Morales https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716632427 For InvenTeam, our invention Alarïs could benefit from using crowdsourcing to gain more insight about students with ADHD, as they are the target audience for our invention. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716632427 Isabel Amaya https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716634022 Crowdfunding is getting help from the large public to fund a project or cause. Cites like GoFundMe help families raise money through donations from the public for causes and sometimes important projects. 
Crowdsourcing is a form of collecting data or information for a project from the public via the Internet. This can be feedback to improve a product or data collected for research or experiments. NASA is developing and launching a platform that will allow citizens to report and collect data on UAVs.
Citizen Science is similar to crowdsourcing. Essentially, citizen science allows the public to participate in scientific research. It allows for anyone to become a scientist and conduct their own experiments to collect data, analyze it, and share it with professionals and others in the community. Citizen science allows for many people to join into different servers to observe whales and squirrels to identify different species to help our understanding of evolution and natural selection.  ]]> 2023-09-22 16:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716634022 Mario Guzman Perez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635423 Two crowd sourcing projects that interested me were the Parkinson's pill bottle and the Immunity Passport. They interested me because I would like to design something as useful as a pill bottle for Parkinson's disease. I also like the idea of an immunity passport because I suffer from many illnesses and having the reinsurance that the area that I'm traveling to requires on for the safety of the people will make me feel safe and not have to worry so much of my health]]> 2023-09-22 16:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635423 Kayla Coleman https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635543 The two projects that interested me today would be Monitoring the Ecosystem and Mapping a Trail. In my opinion, the ecosystem and all life forms are crucial in our survival. Especially since we all have our roles to play. To have people watching our forests and identifying the species and changes, could be a huge break in our scientific discoveries. Secondly, google maps and other maps are such a huge part in our ability to navigate the world. I think it’s such a great experience to be apart of mapping certain areas as well as taking photos, etc.]]> 2023-09-22 16:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635543 Ryan Khatib https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635665 Crowdfunding is when a group of people are used to funding something. It could range from donating money to someone to funding a new invention.
Crowdsourcing is when people contribute to a cause with their own intelligence or talent. An example of this is the website "Foldit" which allows anyone to contribute to advanced research in biology by playing a game.
Citizen science is where people from around the world contribute towards real academic research. An example of this is the website "Zooniverse" which allows people from across the world to explore researchers'objects of interest and contribute towards their research.
These three concepts are similar as they require the help of other people. They all have the same problem which is not enough research. This is why they have allowed anyone from around the globe to be a researcher.
These concepts are different as they all have different goals. For example, "gofundme" requires the financial aid of others while a site like "Zooniverse" requires the brain power of other people.]]> 2023-09-22 16:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635665 Alejandro Galindo https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635990 Crowdfunding is when someone on the internet wants to invent something but doesn't have the money to make it. The inventor then goes to a website to ask for donations of money with the intent of using the money for the invention. An example of this is The Pebble Time, a smartwatch that people donated towards.

Crowdsourcing is when someone gets people to work together for a cause of all working towards a specific goal. Mostly more about contributing to the goal. An example of this is people who chronolog the ecosystem of a park when they go and visit the park, like at Indiana Dunes National Park.

Citizen Science is when anybody on the internet can help research about a specific topic. Anyone can use their knowledge and give it to the project that covers the specific topic. As well as citizens being able to make discoveries along with scientists about the topic. An example of this are the apps that The Online Wisdom App makes for people to learn more about their brain and for the scientists to use that research for further learning.]]> 2023-09-22 16:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716635990 Eduardo Murillo Reyes https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716636319 Crowdfunding is the process of raising money for a cause via donors who are interested in supporting it (e.g. GoFundMe). Crowdsourcing is the process of collecting information at a wide scale by users online (e.g. Foldit). Citizen science is a type of crowdsourcing that allows users to actually participate in studies they are interested in (e.g. Zooniverse). These three concepts all involve using the community to help with big projects. The way in which volunteers are allowed to participate is what differentiates the three. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716636319 Kaylie Parker https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637061 A crowdsourcing project that interested me was the Foldit game. Researchers created a game where the public build proteins which solve current problems within the subject. As someone interested in Biology, I think this project is really cool and more games like this should be made. 

A Citizen Science project that interested me was the Animal Ownership Interaction Study. The goal of this research project is to use citizens and their dogs to better understand the relationship between a pet and owner to prevent from causing psychological damage to their dogs. I think its very cool how anyone can participate in and contribute greatly to research through citizen science. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637061 Steven Rivera https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637821 Crowdfunding is when large amounts of people donate money towards a specific goal or project. Crowdsourcing is when you outsource information from the public. Foldit is a good example of this because it allows the user to play a game while gathering data. Citizen science is a way for researchers to gather information from all around the globe by getting input from the general public. All of these things are a way for large numbers of people to come together for a certain goal, but the means are very different.]]> 2023-09-22 16:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637821 Neithen Navarro https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637909 Two Citizen Science projects that interested me were one on deciphering manuscripts from medieval Spain, and one on classifying backyard squirrels. 
They don't have any correlation to what I'd like to major in, but animals and the medieval period are interests of mine. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716637909 Ritchie Sanchez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638049 I love animals, I believe Zooniverse would be an amazing crowdsourcing place to participate in. Another interesting crowdsourcing is World Community Grid. I want people to feel okay, and if I can help in any way possible, I will. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638049 Noah Rivas https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638198 Crowdfunding is when people put their ideas out on the web and get funding from people over the internet for their ideas. One example of this is someone on Kickstarter getting funding for their documentary on the impact of a popular science-fiction television show. Crowdsourcing is getting the support of people through their skills or time, not through funding. For example, a pill bottle for patients with Parkinson’s was crowdsourced, where many people over the internet worked together to test and fine-tune the idea to get the pill bottle to work right. Citizen science is a specific type of crowdsourcing where researchers use tons of people on the internet to help them analyze the data they have collected. One example of this is the Davy Notebooks Project where people can help transcribe the works of Sir Humphry Davy, lightening the load of historians who study his works. Citizen science and crowd-sourcing are very similar, citizen science is just a very specific type of crowd-sourcing. Crowdsourcing is similar to crowdfunding because both are ways for people to garner the help of people on the internet to complete projects. The main difference is that crowdfunding asks people for financial support and crowd-sourcing asks people for their time, expertise, or computing power, such as asking people to run simulation in the background of their computer. When software is "open-source" that means that people can see, and sometimes even alter, the original code of the software. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638198 Jonathan Nguyen https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638962 Crowdfunding is raising money for something by asking a bunch of people for money. An example is this is people on Kickstarter asking for money to complete inventions, shows, or games. Crowdsourcing is getting people to help do something by asking a bunch of people to help. An example is on Foldit where people can play a game for researchers to get data on protein structures. Citizen science is similar to crowdsourcing but it focuses on normal people gathering scientific research and data for researchers. An example is Zooniverse where there are many science projects that anyone can contribute to. All of these are similar in that they rely on many people to fulfill their goals. They are different in that they are looking for different things. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716638962 Bryan Valadez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716641079 Crowdfunding is a way to fund a project online by posting it on sites like Kickstarter or gofundme and having people give small donations. Crowdsourcing is the practice of getting information from a large number of people online. An example of this is how they would track COVID-19 vaccine availability with the help of online volunteers. Citizen Science is a way for anyone anywhere in the world to give their data or findings to studies that need it. An example of this is wildwatch Kenya where you can help researchers track giraffes by taking pictures or setting up cameras.]]> 2023-09-22 16:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716641079 Noah Rivas https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716641196 Two crowdsourcing or citizen science projects that interest me are dolphin chat and the Davy Notebooks project.

This is because I don't entirely understand how they are able to implement user data into an actual research environment. This makes these websites more interesting as they use more advanced strategies to research topics. These connect to my future career goals as they may help me in working on a project that may contribute towards some sort of issue.]]> 2023-09-22 16:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716641424 Melany Ubilluz https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716641867

Through sites such as Go Fund Me and Kick Starter, the public can donate, and help raise money for a certain project or cause. Crowdsourcing is a way of using the publics input to help solve a problem.

Crowdsourcing is about getting information from a group of people. Citizen science is when people can volunteer to help out with a research project. All these are similar in the sense that they need volunteers to work. For example, crowdfunding needs people to donate to a cause, crowdsourcing needs people to gather information, and citizen science needs people to help out with research. However, all of these concepts are different in their own way. Since crowdfunding has people send money. While crowdsourcing has people give information or input on a topic.

For example, in 2018, I pledged $20 dollars to a book, and in return, I was given a copy of said book and a sticker!
Crowdsourcing - the way of gaining data by the use of large groups of people, either volunteering their services or being paid for their services. For example, the government has its own website, which gathers data from volunteers all over the world.
Citizen Science - the way of gaining scientific information, with a large group of people volunteering to manage research. For example, people who volunteer to watch penguins in the Antarctic and count how many penguins pass by.
The concepts mentioned are all similar as they require a large sum of people to operate at it's best .]]> 2023-09-22 16:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716645436 Alexander Martinez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716645876 crowdfunding: Is receiving money from donations from anywhere in the world used for projects or research in different fields

The money received is put toward advancing the mission. The missions can be from a wide variety; trying to pay off debt to wanting to eat a cheeseburger.

Crowdsourcing is when different kinds of people can contribute to a central project/goal. This is done by collecting data and giving this data to the organization to help advance its goal.

Citizen science is similar to crowdsourcing, but the public that participates completes task more than gathering information. Although the people can still gather information.]]> 2023-09-22 16:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716646516 Kevin Delgado https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716646718 I would love to participate in Foldit and the Zooniverse project, "MeerKAT". ]]> 2023-09-22 16:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716646718 Ritchie Sanchez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716647163 Crowdsourcing - Enabling average people around to access and contribute to science projects. Unique geological locations help conclude solutions and contribute to findings. 

Crowdfunding - Similar to gofundme, however, the funds go to science research. For example, funding advanced powered tools to enhance cancer treatment and/or research. 

Citizen Science -Similar to crowdsourcing, however more physically involved. Any average person can contribute. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716647163 Kayla Coleman https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716647192 A citizen science project I would like to see would be the ability to mark ocean water animals on a particular map.

The money is used to finance the project or invention that is being created. Some examples of crowdfunding are Kickstarter and Patreon. Crowdsourcing collects information from the user such as data, information, geological information, and many more. An example of crowdsourcing is Waze as it asks users to report accidents and potential hazards. Citizen science is the involvement of citizens around the world to contribute to scientific research. An example of citizen science is Zooniverse. These concepts are similar to each other as they involve the public to contribute in some form. They differ as the public is contributing in different factors such as funding, collection of data, or more. ]]> 2023-09-22 16:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716647476 Bryan Valadez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716647495 One citizen science project that interested me was Zooniverse because I think that it's a really fun idea to be able to watch your favorite animals.

GoFundMe is an example of crowdsourcing, people can donate money to help in different situations, for example, to help citizens affected by the earthquake that hit Morroco.
Crowdsourcing is a way that companies or even individuals ask a certain group or groups of people about their opinions on different topics. CitizenScience.gov is a government website that is designed in order to help accelerate crowdsourcing by letting citizens get involved in different projects like exoplanet watches, etc.
Citizen Science is a process where citizens collaborate with professional scientists in order to answer different scientific questions, citizens can solve puzzles, gather information, and even analyze it. Citizen Science is an example of this, scientist collaborate with citizens and finally publish articles with all the information both of them have gathered.
These three are really similar in the way they use citizens and public aid to complete and reach their goals, now each of them has a different way of achieving it, some by donations, others by asking for opinions, and the last one by collaborating with professionals.
Open source projects are when a program makes its source code available for the public so they can do modifications that in their opinion might fit or help.]]> 2023-09-22 17:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716649690 Neithen Navarro https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716649914 Crowdfunding is when people ask for money from the general population to backup a project. Examples of this include kickstarter, where you can help fund movies, games, and other various projects. 
Crowdsourcing is when information is collected by a larger population to aid in the completion of certain projects. Examples include FoldIt's game on protein folding, where users can play the game and make new discoveries about protein folding. 
Citizen Science projects are opportunities for the general population to contribute to scientific work. Examples include websites like zooniverse which allow you to contribute to a number of projects, such as helping to classify squirrels, or fish. ]]> 2023-09-22 17:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716649914 Carlo Gabarda https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716650275 Crowdfunding in the process of raising money from the public, friends, family, relatives, etc. typically through the internet. An example of this would be Kickstarter where people put their products on Kickstarter and the public funds it.

Crowdsourcing is where people collect information or data from the public for a project typically on the internet. An example of this would be the CitizenScience website where the public participates in various federal projects and give their own input.

Citizen Science is scientific research conducted with the participation with the public. An example of this would be Zooniverse where people participate in various projects created by professional researchers.

All of the concepts are similar because they all require the use the public to either fund or conduct their research. They are different because they each one is either meant for funding, conducting scientific research, or obtaining data/information.

An example of crowdfunding is if a school raises money through GoFundMe for school supplies.
-Crowdsourcing: This is when data is collected from the public to be used for a project, consensus, or research. The data gained from the crowd is provided for free to those who set up the prompt, which can even be as simple as writing a restaurant review.
-Citizen Science: Similarly, science gains data from the public; however, it is usually as researchers set up a prompt such as telling the people to spot how many birds they see in a camera within an hour and their color. The person spotting the birds could have spotted a new species in their observations.]]> 2023-09-22 17:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716651476 Alejandro Galindo https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716651501 A citizen science that I would like to contribute to is Climate Crowd. The reason is because I think we should all start caring more about climate change and if we could prevent that I think it requires help from everybody, but not everybody knows what to do to help. This is just an easy way of helping to fight back climate change.
Another citizen science that I would like to contribute to is GeoTag-X because I want to learn more about natural disasters and help contribute to the first-responders in those natural disaster situations.

One example of this is the TikTok Parkinson's Disease bottle where the person makes a 3D print of his design and shares it with the public to spread the information and ask for input on how to improve the design. Citizen Science is the gathering and examination of information about the natural world by members of the public, usually as part of a collaboration with qualified scientists. One example of this is a scientist studying the air quality of NYC through cyclists. By using a specialized shirt that measures their heart rate and blood pressure to see how much the air pollution is affecting a commuter's body. Finally, crowdfunding is the process of supporting a project or business venture by collecting numerous modest donations from a large number of people, usually online. One example of this is SOAR InvenTeam's GoFundMe Page which helps them fund their research and building process of their device that helps students with ADHD. Overall, all of these correlate with each other as they all help people pursue their research and have a community help them to do that. ]]> 2023-09-22 17:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716652255 Julio Ramirez https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716652313 Two really interesting projects that I found interesting are first in citizenscience.gov there is a project that wants to answer if we are alone in the universe.

Citizen Science is a method of researching using the public to help supply information. There are many different types of projects from observing wildlife to gathering language. An example of citizen science would be the plastic tide project which is used to help locate where all the plastic in the ocean is going.

-Crowdsourcing is a way for a big task to be broken up into something more manageable by outsourcing to a large group of people for assistance. An example of this would be tracking COVID-19 vaccine locations, especially during the midst of the pandemic.
-Citizen Science is a means for projects with researchers to work with individuals throughout the globe by attaining their input based on their specific goals. For instance, tracking plastic and other litter found on beaches by taking a picture will help researchers measure how much plastics enter the ocean.

For example, if a teen is on a sports team and needs to raise money for their equipment they can reach out to their community for donations by creating a GoFundMe page.
- Crowdsourcing: This is the means for researchers to collect data from people around the world to reach their conclusion. An example of this would be Apple utilizing their user audience to test the software by releasing a beta version that will determine if it will be used in future updates or not, based on their input.
- Citizen Science: Data input, collected by people that don't necessarily have a background on the topic that the scientist/scholar is researching. In other words, it doesn't require previous expertise or knowledge on the subject in order to participate. Such as people watching a live stream of animals and being asked to count how many horses they saw throughout their time watching. 

The thing they all have in common is the fact that they use people in order to contribute to their cause. 

The difference is that they all have different causes, crowdfunding needs money, crowdsourcing needs information from different experts, and citizen science needs data from people with no expertise.

This would be done by having individuals take pictures/or note the potholes they encounter. ]]> 2023-09-22 17:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2716669366 Richard Nguyen https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717017660 A crowdsourcing project that I think would be beneficial would be something where users would input locations with lots of pollen. So people with allergies to these pollens would know to avoid the areas with a high concentration of pollen. ]]> 2023-09-23 02:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717017660 Noor Hawamdeh https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717027931 - Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital or funding for a project, business, or initiative by collecting small contributions from a large number of people, typically via online platforms or websites. These contributions can come from individuals, groups, or organizations who believe in the project's potential and are willing to provide financial support. 

- Crowdsourcing is a problem-solving and idea-generating approach that involves outsourcing tasks, information, or ideas to a large and diverse group of people, often through online platforms or communities. These individuals, referred to as the "crowd," contribute their expertise, knowledge, creativity, or labor to address specific challenges or complete tasks. 

-Citizen science is a collaborative and participatory approach to scientific research in which members of the public, who may not have formal scientific training, actively contribute to scientific projects and investigations. These citizen scientists collect data, conduct experiments, make observations, or analyze information under the guidance of professional scientists or research organizations. 

These three concepts are similar because they all involve people working together. But they are different because they are used for different reasons, offer different rewards, create different things, and involve experts in different ways.]]> 2023-09-23 03:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717027931 Noor Hawamdeh https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717031991 Zooniverse is one option that interests me because the projects cover various fields, including astronomy, biology, climate science, and more. The second one I think is interesting is Citizen Endo. This project focuses on collecting data from individuals who have or suspect endometriosis to understand their experiences and symptoms better. It's a valuable example of citizen science, where individuals contribute data to advance scientific research and knowledge in a specific field.]]> 2023-09-23 03:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717031991 Noor Hawamdeh https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717043044 I would probably introduce something that allows users of community services or bad situations like if a garbage truck's trash flies out and there would be individuals who come to the scene and assist them making the local community a bit better allowing mutual connections to occur throughout the community. ]]> 2023-09-23 03:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717043044 Angel Flores 1228251 https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717059453 Crowdfunding - Using a large amount of typically small donations to fund a venture such as a project, business, or service. Typically done through Gofundme and kickstarter
Crowdsourcing - Gathering information from a group of people can be in person or over the internet. Can allow larger tasks to be split up into smaller portions to be handled by many.

I would ask people to take note of any accidents they’ve encountered on this street by including the date and time this accident occurred. It is very often that people crash on this street due to the inconvenience of the stoplight. Hopefully with the data collected i’d get the city to fix the stoplight and reduce the accidents on this street. ]]> 2023-09-23 05:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2717071486 Neithen Navarro https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2742461016 I would like for people to input locations which have amazing views of the surrounding area, with additional information like how difficult it is to reach, the best time to go, and if it gets crowded. ]]> 2023-10-11 20:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ljustice2/f38ffccnpct2scyn/wish/2742461016
