Waag organiseert 9 en 10 december avond
A two day conference on open source hardware for air quality measurement across borders.

Day 1 | sensor making: from use case to design challenge
On day one we will start with presentations by sensing initiatives. What prompted them to start the initiative, what lessons have they learned, what was the biggest design challenge and how do they involve the community? After this there will be a joint discussion about the bottlenecks in measuring air quality and we will go deeper into why and what air quality sensors can help for. We will end this day with a clear overview of the needs of the participants and the related design challenges. In addition, we will let you know what role participants have in the further development of the sensor.

When: Wednesday December 9
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:15 pm

Programme
19:00 hrs - Introduction programme
19:05 hrs - Presentation use cases:

  • Lukas Mocek, Sensor.Community
  • Rico Euripidou, Groundworks and Bongani Mthembu, SDCEA
    19:40 hrs - Q&A
    19:50 hrs - Break
    20:00 hrs - Sharing concerns and identify needs
    20:30 hrs - Formulate design challenges
    21:15 hrs - End

Day 2 | from design challenge to first sensor concepts
On day two, sensor makers will share their knowledge on: electricity, internet connection, sensor technology, modularity, software, data quality and data visualisation. In groups, researchers, data specialists and citizen initiatives will work on the design challenges of day one. Your input and knowledge will therefore have a direct impact on the sensor that will be developed in 2021. At the end of the day, you will know the latest developments in (air quality) sensors, you will have gotten to know other makers, you will have made an active contribution to the design of a new air quality sensor and you will be part of a worldwide network of sensor makers.

When: Thursday December 10
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:15 pm

inmiddels staat er een beknopt verslag van de eerste ronde op:https://waag.org/en/article/transforming-citizen-sensing

Er is een followup voor de tweede ronde: the output of the conference is a list of design requirements and design priorities, on which we will focus during the design sprints, which we announced during the conference. Would you like to be part of the next steps in the design process of the open source air quality sensor for citizens? Sign up for the design sprints, which Waag is organising. They will take place on January 21, January 28 and February 4.
