Open Lab Abend: Umweltdaten messen und visualisieren - Citizen Science

In the organizer's words:

If you want to learn more about smart city technologies for autonomous measurement of environmental data, this is the right open lab evening for you. In this workshop, we will introduce you to the Citizen Science Toolkit senseBox, the senseBox Bike and the online world map openSenseMap

WHAT IS AN OPEN LAB EVENING?

Every Thursday it gets creative in the lab. You will learn about methods such as design thinking or future storytelling, can try out 3D printers and laser cutters and take a look behind the scenes of the lab projects. There's something new every week.

Together we collect data, interpret it and discuss the importance of "open data" for political participation and social development. You will use various sensors to collect data on particulate matter pollution, traffic density and humidity. You will assemble a senseBox and use the block-based programming language Blockly to control the sensors in order to collect data. You will learn how you can use this data to improve life in the city in the future.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

>Basic understanding of sensor technology and environmental data

>Importance of citizen science and open data

>Understanding and working with openSenseMap data

>Basic knowledge of Javascript programming

>Understanding and using data visualization
