Get Started with GoSense
Pilot Overview
The GoSense pilot program incorporates the GoSense sensor pack prototype into a citizen science project construct to introduce students to real-world research. This page contains instructions for phase I of the pilot as well as resources for participant groups engaged in this pilot program.
Following completion of Phase I, participants are encouraged to design and implement new unique research projects incorporating GoSense. Steps 3 through 5 in the following Phase I instructions may be utilized as a starting point for participant-directed Phase II citizen science research projects.
- STEP 1: Complete pre-engagement surveys
- STEP 2: Review GoSense User Guide
- STEP 3: Deploy GoSense & collect data
- STEP 4: Download data from GoSense
- STEP 5: Review & upload data to FieldScope
- STEP 6: Complete post-engagement and usability surveys (coming soon)

Pilot Program Steps
In order to support the continued evolution and development of the GoSense prototype and program structure, all participants are requested to complete pre-engagement surveys prior to participation in the pilot. This information will be used to evaluate the program and not individual participants. No personally identifiable information will be collected.
