Children Helping Science

A citizen science initiative from the Early Childhood Cognition Lab at MIT.

This website has studies you and your child can participate in from your home, brought to you by researchers from universities around the world!

Some studies are available any time, and others are a scheduled video chat with a university researcher. Many studies are either short games, or listening to a story and answering questions about it. They are fun for families, serious for science!
