Collaboration with Solar One and NYC Public Schools

This week, the Westervelt group spent two days at the Solar One Environmental Education Center, collaborating on an air sensor research project. As part of the project, New York City area high school teachers and students are getting involved in air quality research, and we kicked off these efforts with a 2-day training on air quality including a custom-built "make your own air sensor" session in which teachers worked with materials provided by our team to assemble and connect to the internet their own air sensors. These sensors will be placed in area schools where existing air monitoring is scarce, and will feed into the Westervelt group research efforts. PhD Student Sai Deepak is spearheading these efforts in the group. Some highlights below.
