Dear members,
I thought you could be interested in this;
Outbox will host a workshop around its PiMAA project on 4th February 2017, 10am to 1pm EAT dubbed " Pimaa Datathon" Join us.
Pimaa is an Internet of Things (IoT) project that is building low-cost environmental sensor platforms that can be easily deployed to public outposts and sites to collect data on air quality. The data collected will be transformed and stored on the Pimaa platform against open data standards that will ease the accessibility and dissemination of air quality data.
The Pimaa datathon is an opportunity for local technologists, environmentalists and media to interact and find new ways of how to work with and tell stories using open data on air quality for science, journalism, research to mention but a few.
Who should attend?
Journalists
