Do real science

Collect and analyze data

Dear teachers, headmasters and environmental education enthusiasts!

Discover Ants will instantly place your school’s science program among the best in Austria. Your students will be doing a real science project including collecting and analyzing their own data!

Citizen Science projects have a lot of potential in schools as they are able to combine empirical research and education. Students learn the scientific method not just in theory but rather apply it first hand.

You’ll find everything for getting started right here!
