I enjoy designing and creating meaningful, improved experiences for people. With a focus on sustainability, helping drive change and make the world a better place.

Final year project

HexAir – Air pollution monitoring educational device

HexAir is a low cost, fully recyclable device that uses an air pollution sensor to monitor and track the levels of particulate matter in the air. This data collected by children walking to and from school helps crowd source key information required to help inform new policies targeted to the areas with the worst air quality. By providing this to children it teaches the upcoming generation to be have a more sustainable outlook on life and positively change their behaviours. By increasing their awareness this creates a social impact amongst the community to drive change.

Homepage display provide quick relevant information on the current air quality. This is accompanied by LED’s so that others outside view the current Air quality on the child’s wrist, gathering interest on what the device is and in turn Air pollution. Furthermore, a screen displaying the safe travel feature to help children avoid poor air quality hotspots or view the goals set for themselves to avoid the hotspots with their knowledge gained from the gamification.

Learning through Gamification & Crowdsourcing data

Emission Inspector game for younger children – This game requires the child to spot the pollution sources and once they’ve found them all they can pick up and stack the devices to fill in the gaps of the story to figure out the puzzle. Aimed at 5-10 years old after research into child’s developmental psychology and user testing.
After – Once all pollution sources found can begin to figure out the puzzle.
Older children’s game for ages 11-14 year old. The children are the managers of a city where they must tackle the different policies provided by the government and help the city remove Air pollution. The game focus on cause and effect as the decisions they make can decrease the cities happiness or increase pollution levels as well as their decision making. I fully prototyped this game and had children test and play who loved it!
Children can easily twist and remove the device from the wrist strap utilising a bayonet mount. Manufactured using PLA and recycled Nylon wrist strap the device is fully recyclable and helps children become more conscious about the sustainability of their own device to upcycle the strap and recycle the components.
A report button empower the child to take action by reporting areas with particularly poor Air quality also helping them feel like they feel they’re making a difference.

Website dashboard where crowdsource data is collected and can be accessed by teachers and the government.

Branding – Character companion to accompany child on journey of learning about Air pollution and tackle these challenges.
