Mk smart gadgets and fieldwork
- 1. MK:Smart Project “Internet of Green Things” Citizen Science and Sensing Technologies Will Woods
- 2. Engagement © bigvern / Flickr CC Why is the engagement important or desirable? Who is being engaged? What are they being engaged with?
- 3. Why engage? BSBI - Herbaria at Home • “The correct name of an organism is the quantum of biodiversity knowledge.”
- 4. Who is being engaged?
- 12. • Can digital engage people with their environment? • Can sensors engage people with digital? © Keith Bowey, iSpot mentor, JET project
- 13. Research Questions • Value of sensor technology for STEM public engagement • Location of “vagrant” devices • Sensor fusion/collaboration of low cost devices • Traffic, load and QoS in M2M networks
- 14. Activities? • Monitoring health of horse-chestnut trees • Grass cutting regimes and urban wildlife • Ecosystems services of trees in urban areas (temperature/air pollution) • Watercourses and floodplains (impact) • Smarter gardening • Allergy alleviation

Notas do Editor
- iSpot’s principal aim is to help people learn about wildlife identification. Knowing a species’ name unlocks access to existing knowledge, and enables one to add to that knowledge.
- The public - Need to have at least a casual interest in wildlife? Can use of iSpot can create that interest? Specific targeting at certain groups - ‘hard to reach’ audiences through OPAL and mentors; ‘experts’ who can help provide identifications
- iSpot helps people learn about wildlife, using social networking technology to link novices and experts What is there to engage with? Website: encourages biological recording best practice, while keeping it as simple as possible to use A friendly and knowledgeable community of people interested in wildlife: dialogue between novices and experts Apps: provide opportunity to bring more people in, and engage them in more ways, e.g. ‘live’ in the field
- Scientific enquiry learning. Opening science to everyone.
- Treezilla – monster map of trees. Mapping impact of trees on local environment.
- Simple sensory data collection using off the shelf tools and products. (soil monitor shown). Using wifi to collect and aggregate data.
- Off-the-shelf products used. E.g. Smart Citizen Kit. Low cost sensors. (£100?)
- Air Quality Egg (£200?) – works with wifi and bluetooth. Works well with Machine to Machine networks.
- “Around Here” functionality. Geolocation information stored and aggregated to form rich datasets.
- Are digital communications an effective way of engaging a wider audience with their local environment and with biological recording? – Yes, but the converse is also true.
- Focus is biological and environmental data. Citizen dimension for community development. Engaging with local schools.
- Workshops will be held to define investigations. These are a range of the suggested activities. More may emerge as a result of the workshops.
