Challenge

What motivates volunteers to host a light-pollution sensor, and do motivations differ by profile (age, background, experience)?

Where to start
Load the survey CSV. Summarise the motivation questions; cross one motivation against a demographic variable.
What to share
Summary charts of volunteer motivations and one finding relevant to recruiting more of them.

Share your results and questions in the forum. Challenges are open-ended — there's no single right answer.
