Science Makers: sensor networks

Sat 2 July 2016

Makespace

Science Makers is a monthly event to discuss and build low-cost, DIY and open hardware for science and education.

This month we're looking at sensor networks. Hear from researchers building and using sensor networks for science and get hands-on in the afternoon working on a project.

12:00 Arrival and coffee

12:30 - Presentations and demos

• Cecilia Mascolo on wireless sensor networks and Emotionsense

• Helene Steiner on plants as sensor networks

• Helen Pritchard on citizensense, a practice-based research project investigating digital sensors and environmental practice.

13:30 - Pizza (£4 suggested donation)

14:30 - Making!

We'll be building a PM2.5 air quality sensor based on Arduino with citizensense.

You are also welcome to work on your own projects.
