Medialab Prado

This "hackaton" offers different activities to better understand the quality of the air in Madrid, using real-time data in a meaninful way. Low cost Air Quality Egg (AQE) devices will be used. These open devices are intended to test air quality and were created during the last workshop in June. 

Ed Borden from Cosm (former Pachube) and Joe Saavedra from Parsons School of Design (NYC) will be visiting for the workshop and assisting each group using their past experience in other cities. [partial streaming]
