AIR Centre Two-Day Maker Workshop: Design Innovation for Coastal Resilience

This workshop brings together key stakeholders active in Ghana’s entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and scientific research communities to explore opportunities to leverage indigenous forms and networks of R&D to drive expanded models of resilience in Coastal West Africa. Insights gained from this workshop are to be compiled and incorporated into ongoing development of an international framework for transatlantic design-led coastal resilience. The main objective of the workshop is to test the feasibility of building low-cost sensors for implementing Citizen’s Science projects. With a total of 32 participants, the workshop aims to demonstrate that low-cost sensors could be built by undergraduate students and used to collect reliable environmental data.
