Citizen Scientist

It’s simplified being a Citizen Scientist for my daughter who wants to be an astronaut when she grows up and exciting that she can contribute to real world science at such a young age.

App doesn’t work correctly

I keep trying to make my daughter an account but when we get done with making the account it doesn’t let us verify that we’re not robots and takes us back to the original screen. Why is this so hard!?
