SUMMARY:Community Air Sensor Workshop (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The Community Air Sensor Workshop was created to continue the critical discussions and knowledge-sharing around emerging air sensor technology\, especially in light of the cancellation of the U.S. EPA Sensor Workshop 2025. While that event will no longer take place\, our virtual workshop provides a collaborative space for experts\, organizations\, and community members to exchange best practices\, explore innovations\, and advance air quality monitoring. Through interactive sessions\, hands-on workshops\, and open discussions\, we aim to empower communities with accurate\, accessible air quality data—driving innovation and informed decision-making for a cleaner\, healthier future. \nThis event is completely free and organized entirely by volunteers who are passionate about advancing air quality monitoring and making sensor technology more accessible. Our goal is to ensure that knowledge and collaboration remain open to all. We appreciate the dedication of our organizers and contributors\, whose efforts make this workshop possible.
