The Community Sensor Lab is a workshop series that collaborates with high school students and community members to build low-cost, DIY environmental monitoring sensors and encourage citizen science and environmental air quality advocacy. I assist in soldering, building, and wiring the air quality Arduino sensors in the lab at the Advanced Science Research Center. I am also part of installing and maintaining these sensors at Red Hook Farms, where we are working with high school students to teach them the functions of operating the sensors and environmental air quality hazards.
