ABOUT

Kids Making Sense® is a hands-on program that educators can use to teach students how to measure and monitor air quality and weather, to interpret the data they collect, and to take action to reduce their exposure to air pollution. The program consists of STEM-based curriculum, hand-held air sensor technology, and support from professional air quality scientists.

MISSION

The mission of Kids Making Sense is to provide high-quality, innovative, science-based curriculum and laboratory kits for air quality education worldwide. We strive to provide unique and comprehensive STEM-based curriculum modules and to help educate students about the air they breathe. Our goal is to empower youth to measure their air and understand how best to protect themselves.

 

Empowering Youth

The Kids Making Sense® program motivates youth to drive positive change and improve public health by collecting credible air quality data around their neighborhoods. Students participate in hands-on science tasks, discuss their findings with an air quality scientist, and share their data with the global air quality community. They can even use their data to identify local sources of air pollution and take actions to be part of the solution.
