Case study
Our programme begins in primary schools with groups of children aged 9-11 years
who are invited to participate as citizen scientists recruited to assist a
mysterious professor after his grown-up scientists have gone on strike. An initial
recruitment meeting is called with the children and their parents/carers where they
are issued with their citizen scientist lab coats, air quality sensors and activity
The AQ sensors and trackers are for
the children and their family to keep
after use but first they are taken home
and the sensors connected to the
internet so that they can provide a
constant stream of data relating to the
air quality around the childs home. The
activity trackers are worn by the
parents and report daily walking and
other health related data directly to the
wearers smart phone and the internet.
This data is collected daily by the child
who can also review it at school over
the internet.
