Climate change is disrupting water ecosystems…
causing shifts in pH levels and increasing unwanted chemicals in lakes. Yet many students lack opportunities to engage with these challenges or develop the necessary data science skills to address them.
To bridge this gap, this project is aimed for grades 5–12, where learners will design and deploy tools to monitor water quality, using affordable sensors and the MIT App Inventor platform to gather and analyze data related to pH and soluble materials. This approach will not only teach digital literacy skills but will also increase engagement by connecting students to real-world environmental issues, particularly empowering those from underrepresented communities to use data science for advocacy and interdisciplinary learning, ensuring greater equity in education.
