The Maastricht Smart Air Project

A Citizen Science Initiative to Build a Healthier City, Together.

Our Vision: A Citizen-Powered Data Network

To establish a network of 200 research-grade air quality monitors in homes across Maastricht, creating a unique data asset for public health while delivering continuous STEM education through community workshops.

The Problem

We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, yet we lack accessible, reliable data on our home's air quality. This "data gap" impacts our long-term health and prevents us from making informed decisions about our environment.

The Solution

Hands-on workshops where residents build their own custom, research-grade "Smart Air Display." Participants learn valuable skills, create a beautiful device, and contribute to a city-wide data network for the public good.

A Threefold Impact for Maastricht

❤️

Public Health

Empowers residents with real-time data and creates an invaluable dataset for researchers at the GGD and Maastricht UMC+ to study urban health trends.

🔬

STEM Education

Delivers hands-on training in electronics, 3D printing, and data literacy, empowering citizens with the skills for a "Smart City" future.

🤝

Community Building

Brings diverse groups together for a shared civic purpose, strengthening social cohesion and creating a community of engaged citizen scientists.

Where Tech Meets Creativity.

This isn't just a technical workshop; it's a creative one. Participants don't just build a sensor kit—they design a beautiful, personalized enclosure for it. With the guidance of our mentors and the power of our 3D printers, the Smart Air Display becomes a piece of custom home decor: a lamp, a piece of wall art, a clock, or a unique gift.

Each participant leaves with a device they are proud to display, an app to monitor their air quality, and the knowledge that they are part of a city-wide science project.
