At the Glapton Academy, we successfully applied for a grant from the Royal Society Project. We partnered with Nottingham Trent University (Computer Sciences) to design, create and program air quality monitors using a small computer called a Raspberry Pi. We are going to measure the air quality outside and around the school, analyse the data and present our findings. So far, we have learned to code in a programming language called ‘Python’, designed and 3D printed cases for our hardware and programmed a code to measure the air quality. Out next step is to place them outside for a week and see what happens!
