The leaders of Stall Catchers, SciStarter's top project of 2021, shares his secrets for success.

Credit: Stall CatchersSciStarter has hundreds of citizen science projects to choose from, and our more than 110,000 registered members participate in a diverse range of projects that match their individual interests and passions. But there are a few perennial favorites among our citizen science projects, and perhaps none more popular than the Alzheimer’s-fighting game Stall Catchers.
A few big events helped lift Stall Catchers this year, Michelucci notes, including corporate volunteer efforts from companies like Verizon and Microsoft. The Verizon volunteers were recruited and trained through SciStarter’s partnership with the company, a new initiative launched this year that pairs volunteers from the company with SciStarter projects.
That helps explain why Stall Catchers has found it easy to reach new audiences. But that’s only part of the battle — sustaining a project long-term brings its own challenges. For that, Michelucci credits the community of Stall Catchers players, some of whom contribute dozens or even hundreds of hours of their time every year. Interacting with and supporting their community has always been a priority for the team, he says.
“One of the great success factors for Stall Catchers has been our partnership with SciStarter,” he says. “A crowd-powered system is only as strong as its crowd. And SciStarter has given a lot of strength to Stall Catchers by helping us build that community.
