Selected Projects
Students participate in hands-on science tasks, discuss their findings with an air quality scientist, and share their data with the global air quality community.
They can even use their data to identify local sources of air pollution and take actions to be part of the solution.
Developed by air quality scientists and educators, and thoroughly tested with teachers and students around the world, Kids Making Sense unites STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education and NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) with an air sensing system.
Educate youth about air pollution at a time when they are forming their driving and consumption behaviors.
Increase awareness of your air quality mission among residents who follow science, education, environmental, and public health news. We have conducted Kids Making Sense events across the country, including in schools located in Environmental Justice communities.
