Past Events
11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
LibriVox volunteers read and record chapters of books in the public domain (i.e. books no longer under copyright; primarily those published before 1923), and make them available for free on the Internet. Recordings (including yours!) will be donated into the public domain so that others may enjoy childhood classics in audio format. In this virtual group project students will be guided through creating these recorded readings together.
12:45 PM – 2:00 PM
Zooniverse is an online platform for people-powered research, allowing researchers with large amounts of data to analyze their data more easily through the help of volunteers. If you're a student who is interested in conducting research of your own in the future, or if you enjoy supporting research in areas you're interested in, this opportunity is perfect for you.

Participate in virtual activism with Mapping Prejudice!
