Welcome to the Billion Oyster Project Digital Platform wiki!

The BOP Digital Platform is the online dashboard for the BOP Schools and Citizen Science Program. Through the Platform, students and teachers collect and publish data, develop authentic field research, and create the STEM curriculum that links keystone species restoration in New York Harbor to teaching and learning in New York City Schools. Citizen scientists, professional scientists, and project partners also play an essential role in the BOP digital platform by collecting and publishing their own data, vetting student research, and providing field support to teachers. The platform offers a range of tools to accomplish this mission, including expedition management, field uploading, data publishing, search and download, the interactive curriculum library, student research portal, and a course calendar/registration system.
