AIR BUDDY

Dimensions (cm): 15.24 x 30.48 x 25.4
Weight (kg): 3.25

Air Buddy tackles poor classroom air quality from CO₂ spikes above 1000 ppm in 30-45 minutes (reducing cognition by 50%), dust, pollution, and ventilation gaps, which cause student fatigue, headaches, and respiratory issues among 25-30 pupils. This affordable, student-built Arduino device deploys professional-grade sensors (like MQ-135) in a compact desk format for real-time monitoring, delivering instant color-coded LEDs (green-good, red-hazardous) to prompt actions like window-opening. Its simple-yet-sophisticated design sparks “aha!” learning moments, making it an ideal entrepreneurial venture for scalable STEM solutions in schools worldwide.

Description

Air Buddy addresses a critical gap in classroom health by tackling poor indoor air quality (AQI) caused by closed windows, dust, external pollution, CO₂ buildup from 25-30 students, and poor ventilation, which spike CO₂ above 1000 ppm in 30-45 minutes—slashing cognitive function by up to 50% and causing sleepiness, headaches, and respiratory risks. Unlike costly commercial monitors, this affordable, desk-level Arduino device empowers students to build, program, and customize professional-grade sensors for real-time monitoring, delivering instant color-coded visual alerts (green for good, red for hazardous) that prompt immediate actions like opening windows. Its beginner-friendly design balances sophistication with simplicity, fostering “aha!” moments as devices react to real conditions, positioning it as a scalable entrepreneurial solution for schools worldwide to boost student performance and health through hands-on STEM innovation.
