ScienceScope Ltd recently relocated to Downside School just south of Bath. As ScienceScope specialises in developing technology for sensing systems, in particular education, this unique arrangement of a high tech company being based in a school offers significant opportunities for us and students to work together on a range of new and exciting projects.
Our product development programme is inspired by the research we do. In recent years the key areas of research have been:
• Developing novel air quality monitoring technology which has been widely deployed in Singapore, Thailand the UAE and the UK.
• We worked with the BBC and others to develop the micro:bit; a nano computer for education. We run projects around the world to introduce students to the opportunities to develop their own technology solutions including the “Digital Maker Programme” in Singapore which delivered 100,000 micro:bits to all schools in the country.
• We are an EXPO2020 Live award winner. This project has enabled us to develop the IOTatSchool further. We have engaged with schools across Asia and Eastern Europe in partnership with the Asia Europe Foundation to scale IOTatSchool around the world. This technology will be extensively showcased in Dubai at EXPO 2020 at the end of 2021.
• In the UAE we are working a ground breaking project for the MOE to analyse classroom environments and feedback from students and teachers to optimise the learning environment.
• Together with IES Ltd, The University of Glasgow we are working on a major project funded by Innovate UK to build a digital twin of two new buildings on the University Campus with a view to combine parametric data from the building and user feedback to monitor how the building behaves in comparison with the design specification. The objective of the project is to develop a methodology for optimising the building environment and carbon footprint as it is actually used over the coming years.
