Best Way to Get Involved?


We announce and manage all of our events at Meetup. In fact, we also manage membership and most of our communications through it.

We are always looking for helpers at event to help directing people and to film the event. We are easy. If you are what we are looking for, feel free to turn up with your tools and let the organiser know at the beginning of the event. We need you!


Journalist, blogger too, you're invited to turn up and feel free to ask questions. Looking forward to seeing your master piece!

Alternatively, you're welcome to use our event as a directory and list your citizen science event with us. Drop us a line to check if you are unsure that it will fit well.

Connect up!


We are a collective of citizens wanting to help citizens to kick start projects, coordinate events and spread the opportunities and interesting matters related to science and engineering, as long as they are open to participation by citizens.

This is the one place where we announce everything (news, projects, events) by Citizen Inventor and anything interesting that caught our eyes. 
OOPS! We don't have a mailing list, meetup is our mailing list. We'd like to think that you'd rather join us at meetups (events)! 
[Experimental] Serves in place of IRC. HipChat is a reputable and reliable for chatting. Join our general chat room on phone, pad, computer**. 
Not on Twitter? How about Facebook? We prefer Twitter but if you are only on Facebook, then tweets are also pushed to our Facebook page. 
Not the latest fashion, less chatty but this will reliably and quietly keep you posted with our news update.
If wiki sounds like a big edit, then hopefully open notebook would be a simple place for everyone to give and take knowledge.

Projects - Getting Hands On

Discuss it Online

Call for a project brainstorm and bounce ideas around using our Open Notebook on Hackpad or discussion board on Meetup

Discuss in Groups

Take a lead to organise an event in your locality or your interest by scheduling a suggested meetup 

Call for Participant

Look for projects that are calling for participation on the projects directory and collaborate. Submit your call to projects directory here. 

A project initiated and run by you is yours,  authenticity is a core value at Citizen Inventor. We provide a place and directory for the ideas and project to spread and exchange, as long as it involve citizen participation. Your project is yours to run and keep unless you want our involvement or wanted to contribute to our volunteering efforts. 

Branches of Focus


Branches are only here to help us focus, they are not fixed, so don't be surprise if it changes, merges or split. The important thing is these initiatives are made to best support projects and funding. It might not be obvious, but a lot of skills are very transferable between topics and the most unexpected skills, like fashion design, animation, are needed in space exploration! So hesitate no more, discover it for yourself and move freely between focus as you see fit.

Space Technology and Exploration


Space Town Hall is an open platform for citizens who wants to be involved in Space exploration. It is also the name of its flagship events - where space curious citizen can get together regularly and develop projects and ideas. Under the space town hall initiatives, we are also piloting a co-learning scheme - hands on, project based learning.

Want to Get MORE Involved?

We are a virtual community of citizen makers and scientist, as long as we can communicate to you (coffee shop, skype, hangout etc), you can be anywhere!

Sponsors and Affiliates

Enhancing the community, mutual support for growing. We are here to cross pollinate, so you are integral to help making it happen.

If you or your group would like to collaborate with us on projects/ events, can supply or sponsor some equipment/ venue/ food/ drink/ perks /discounts to the community and be connected. 

Try Your Leadership Skills

Care about another branch in science that we have not mentioned and wanted to expose other citizens to that? 

Propose the new branch and state how you intend to make that branch of science accessible to other citizens and test drive your leadership skills!

Try Your Business Skills

Experienced in sustainability? Good at words and fluent in grant lingo - or at least want to be and willing to give it a go? Test it on us. 

Something else...

Tell us anyways!

Beyond Contributing in Kind.

Whilst we run everything for free, it's not free of cost on our part. There are a lot of interesting projects we wanted to do but we are limited in funds to take things further. There are also a lot of uninteresting administrative paper work that needs to be done and services that we have to pay for (where we cannot find any volunteers to help) to keep the platform available to you. 

Can you help us to make more things happen for the community? Donate towards moving the movement of citizen science, co-learning forward. Help us to help you, your friends and family to get a start in exploring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, wherever your starting point is, to a place where curiosity can take you to places never imagined.

Small Print: We make no profits in anycase. Try one of the buttons, we found that the buy button worked better if you don't have funds in your PayPal account already, but PayPal take a cut on that, so we will loose some of that to their services if you buy instead of donate.
