Making Sense – Citizen Sensing Toolkit (2018) / Making Sense Team
"Making Sense" was designed to show how open-source software, open-source hardware, digital maker practices and open-source design could be used effectively by local communities to appropriate their own sensing tools to make sense of their environments, and address environmental problems, mainly in air pollution, noise and nuclear radiation. Based on nine elaborate pilots in Amsterdam, Barcelona and Prishtina, "Making Sense" developed a toolkit for participatory sensing, aimed at deepening our understanding of the processes which can enable collective awareness for sustainability. The toolkit consists of hardware, software and guidelines. the learnings of the project together in a Creative Commons licensed, on-line and printed book containing the "Making Sense" framework, 25 tools, 6 cases, multiple portraits and seven key insights. "Making Sense" was awarded with an Honorary Mention at the STARTS Prize 2018.
