This document summarizes two citizen science projects called StreetBump and DEW App. StreetBump uses smartphones to detect road bumps in Boston and helps prioritize road repairs. It has limitations around battery drain and privacy. The DEW App was created by NASA to allow citizens to upload geotagged photos to monitor environmental changes. It has features like automatic orientation and upcoming additions like in-field questions and image analysis. The document concludes with ideas for two new projects called SensorDomo and CitizenPipe that could further engage citizens in science.
