Day of Climate workshop @MIT with App Inventor team
Selim Tezel
TL; DR: MIT App Inventor team is offering a climate change and water-quality themed hands-on workshop involving data collection with sensors and microbits. The workshop is on Tuesday February 25th 4:00-6:00 PM @ MIT Stata Center. Space is limited, if interested please fill out this survey by Wednesday February 5th. No App Inventor or IoT background is assumed.
Greetings everyone,
Happy 2025! Hope you are well and your new school term started smoothly.
Join MIT App Inventor team as we provide teacher professional development for a set of activities related to climate change and water quality. Climate change is disrupting water ecosystems, causing shifts in pH levels and increasing unwanted chemicals in lakes and coastal water. Yet many students lack opportunities to engage directly with these challenges or develop the necessary data science skills to address them. To bridge this gap, we walk you through these hands-on activities using clear, step-by-step instructions and discuss how they fit within your classroom’s learning goals for biology, chemistry, earth science, math, or computer science. The activities allow students in grades 5-12 to design and deploy tools to monitor water quality using affordable sensors and the MIT App Inventor platform to gather and analyze pH and soluble materials data. They can fit well as in-classroom demonstrations or student-led projects to test water in the community.
The workshop is on Tuesday February 25 4:00-6:00 PM @ MIT Stata Center. Space is limited, if interested please fill out this survey by Wednesday February 5th. No App Inventor or IoT background is assumed. Please contact ste...@mit.edu if you have any questions.
