Blog post Team Green -2

We hebben vorige week een extra week vakantie
gehad vanwege de huidige corona situatie. Dit was voor iedereen van ons groepje
een leuk rustmoment. Nu
hebben we om de andere dag afstandsonderwijs. Dit is hoe ver dat we nu zijn :
Victor en
Diego :
-
Diego
is klaar met het ontwerpen van onze box en heeft er een uitleg bij geschreven.
( Zie map “ontwerp box” in Teams)
-
Ze
zijn klaar met het samenvoegen van hun twee sensoren maar moeten er nog de RTC
bijvoegen.
-
Ze
moeten nog maar een proefje maken en daar een verslag van maken.
Jeanne en Lina :
-
Ze
hebben hun twee sensoren kunnen samenvoegen met RTC en SD kaart.
- Lina
had de schakeling mee naar huis genomen om de proefjes te maken tijdens de
vakantie maar ze ondervond problemen met het openen van de arduinocode. ( Jeanne kon de code zelf ook niet openen thuis).
Arne en Tibo :
-Ze ondervinden problemen met het samenvoegen van hun twee sensoren.
-Hun proefjes van fijn stof en van UV-licht zijn al in orde.
So far we
have all finished our first sensor and did all the tests for these. We also
have finished programming our second sensor and are now doing our tests for
these. But because of the new Corona rules, we have not yet been able to do
STEM at school which is making it a bit harder, as some of these tests are only
able to happen at school. We try to do as much at home as possible, but this
does not always work out as planned.
We are also
working on our sensor box. This will be the box that we put all our sensors in
and use later on in the project to do more and longer tests. We have a rough sketch,
but still have to add the fine details.
Our group also brainstormed about what we
are going to do with our sensors, because we need to make a box for all the
sensors and therefor we sat together and we came up with an idea for a design
of the box, Nina and Helder are going to design the box.
Important for this box is that it satisfies
all of the conditions of all sensors, such as: the ability to detect UV light,
ventilation, waterproof, …Ventilation
is probably the most important one because there are 3 sensors who sense the
air quality (CO2, humidity, fine dust).
Thanks to our lovely Belgian climate the
chance that our box is going to get wet when we put is outside is quite
reasonable, so therefor our box need to be 100% waterproof.

Our group brainstorming about the design
of our sensorbox,
In the past weeks our group has been
working mostly on our sensors, now that we need to optimize our 2nd
sensor it is only logical that our full attention is reserved therefor.
The groups that had to do the tests with their
sensor did those and they continued also on their 2nd sensor
afterwards.

is being tested
Niamh is
the mother of the group and makes sure everyone gets their stuff done on time.
Renée is the funny one and is always laughing. Then we have Loïc who is always
working hard. Milan is the quiet one, but has been sick for a few stem lessons,
so hasnt got to do that much yet. Next, we have Martijn, he is very smart and
his dry sense of humor always crackes everyone up. Lastly, we have Manon. She
is the creative one and is also the one who came up with and drew our logo.
We made an
introduction video in which you guys will get to know us better. Now that you
know who’s in the team, lets talk about what we have been doing.
We all have
finished programming our first sensors and are starting our second ones.
Here is the DHT22, this sensor measures the
temperature and the humidity and was programmed by Renée and Niamh. We did some
experiments with it too, such as putting it in the fridge for an hour and in a
box with warm water. Because of these, we now know more about our sensor.
Loïc and
Marijn programmed the DS18B20 sensor. They also did some experiments like putting
it in the fridge for an hour and had to put it in boiling water.
And
finally, Manon and Milan did the UVM30A sensor. They had some touble with this
one, but ended up figuring it out.
Hi, we are
the Belgian Blue team, also known as the Air Dragons. We chose this name
because the project is all about clean air and dragons are cool and fly in the
air. Our slogan is: We care about clean air, I guess this speaks for itself. In
our group there are 3 boys and 3 girls.
Here are Jeanne and Lina working
on the bio project, we all had to find leafs in different areas and now we are investigating the leaf yeasts in order to approach the air pollution in
a natural way. through the microscope we observe the pink leaf yeasts of the different
areas.

Glen’s screen while he was working on our introduction video.
Because this is an international project
and we work together with people in Finland, we had to make an introduction
video where we introduced ourselves, our team, our school, Leuven and Belgium.
So what we did was selecting the interesting information about these topics and
then making a little video about it or just recording a text and adding
matching pictures. When we were finished we sent those video’s/audio excerpts
with pictures to Glen who then put all of the videos together and added sound +
pictures to make it a smooth end product.
Another thing which we had to work on was
making a team logo and coming up with a name, Nina did most of this. She made
the logo and came up with the name luchtBEL.
Because this is a science project, there
are some overlaps with other science subjects. For example, we had to pick leaves
in different areas which we later did some experiments with like growing pink
leaf yeasts. The point of this experiment is finding out what kind of
environment is the best for organisms.
Hello everyone! This is a status update of our
STEM-project, where we work on sensors to check the air quality. For example:
humidity, CO2 , fine dust,
In this
picture above, you see Glen and Helder working on their sensor, our teacher,
Mrs. Vanbreusegem, is helping.
The members of our team are Glen, Helder,
Tabitha, Nina, Tuur and Johannes. We are all divided in separate groups of 2
where we work on our sensors but together we still are one team.
