Participants will design and implement software and hardware tools to explore the relationships between weather, health, air pollution, and transportation. The goal is to understand how these factors affect the well being of a community in order to support policy development and technical decision making. Speakers from the City of Austin, the Dell Medical School, GAVA, and the Cockrell School of Engineering will introduce the topic. We will have samples of datasets from a variety of sources, and provide access to air quality sensors and computational resources for participants to use in responding to one or more of a series of project prompts including:
- Developing interfaces to access, archive and visualize data from low-cost air quality sensors
- Develop visualizations to convey information to community members and decision makers
- Implement data analysis techniques to uncover patterns and relationships between disparate transportation, health and/or pollution data sources
- Development of a pollution sensor network using off-the-shelf hardware and software tools
