MakerBay is a Hong Kong-based maker group with locations in Central and Tsuen Wan with space, tools and community focused on using innovation for social and environmental impact.
People of all backgrounds can:
- learn new skills and participate in events
- develop inventions and grow businesses
- make use of a wide range of services, from consulting to digital fabrication.
The Problem: Here at GSIS we rely on air pollution monitors that are located in Central and Causeway Bay. As we know the air quality reading in Central District can be very different from the air quality reading on the Peak. Therefore teachers and students do not know the quality of the air on our campus.
The Proposal: To build an air quality traffic light notification system. The product will sample the local air quality and give a red, orange or green light to indicate the safety of the air outside. It will also be capable of sending warning information to relevant people in the school when the readings hit a certain level. Students will go through the full product life cycle in one week. At the end of the week they will pitch their product to an audience.
