- Project Title: Creating a system to detect and filter Carbon Monoxide using IoT and Nordic Thingy
- BASIS Independent Advisor: Mr. Smith
The aim of this project is to improve student retention with the use of a detector to help identify CO2 concentration levels in the air. High levels of CO2 result in discomfort which makes it harder to focus, resulting in worse concentration and therefore lower grades. The device used will be a “Nordic Thingy 91,” which contains a sensor that detects CO2 concentration levels. I will build a User Interface for the device to make it easy to detect gas levels by anyone. This interface will provide CO2 concentrations by classroom in real time, graphs to allow the user to track patterns in concentrations, and an alert system for when levels get dangerously high.
