The Air We Breathe: Investigating Air Quality Data After reflecting on their experiences with dangerous air quality, participants will engage with real-time air quality data in Portland. In teams, they will investigate a question of interest (examples: how air quality connects with injustice, reliability and distribution of data sources, pollution sources, etc.). Finally, they will present on their preliminary findings, develop action ideas, and consider how these teaching and learning approaches can be adapted to their own settings.
