The International Nature Detectives Association (INDA) is an official association where kids become Nature Detectives! It is a membership association for kids (and their grownups) which seeks to provide a platform to engage kids with nature and science.
At INDA, kids can earn digital awards, badges, and prizes through various membership levels, by playing games, finishing projects, and solving both imaginary and real world nature mysteries.
While INDA is designed for kids, grownups play a big role too. Kids join with the sponsorship of a parent/guardian, who then serve as Assistants for their junior Nature Detectives.
Many of the projects, resources, and topics that we share with kids overlap with official school curriculum, or with that of many nature centers around the US and globally. We share some resources, and strive to form mutually-beneficial partnerships.
