Air Quality Monitoring Project

Posted on By Lakhvir Singh

Professor Reza Ziarati, chairman of C4FF and coordinator of INSPIRE Group had a meeting with Kathryn Kroon (STEM Coordinator – Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes; STEM Ambassador Hub East Midlands). Kathryn shared a copy help sheets compiled explaining the project and to support the sensor build for the summer projects and a photo of the kit box delivered to ambassadors and students.  Kathryn mentioned that they are only at the start of our project in the East Midlands as Kathryn and her group have not been able to get into schools.  Due to supporting the Nuffield and NCS projects over the summer they have in essence trialled out these kits prior to going into schools and she have been working with 16-17-year-old students.  In the East Midlands they have engaged STEM Ambassadors to ease the process of their technical installation and use in schools at both primary and secondary level.
