Ozone Sensor - Potentially Genius™ | DigiKey

In this episode, Tomorrow Lab collaborates with Dr. Elena Craft who is the Senior Director of Climate and Health at the Environmental Defense Fund. Dr. Craft’s expertise is on air toxics issues, focusing specifically on reducing criteria and greenhouse gas emissions from the energy and transportation sectors. She has worked to reduce emissions especially around port areas and environmental justice communities. She has also worked to reduce toxics used in shale gas drilling practices such as hydraulic fracturing. In her work, she advocates for policies that increase energy efficiency, reduce exposure to toxic compounds, and improve human health. In this episode, Dr. Craft came to the team with an idea about creating a real-time air quality monitoring device that can engage communities about the quality of their air and potential risks they may face.

To turn this into a potentially genius, the team from Tomorrow Lab gets to work by generating multiple sketches, schematics, and prototypes that leverage Digi-Key’s massive electronic component selection.
