Live Singapore air quality, measured by an open sensor.
This page pulls a live, unfiltered feed from a Smart Citizen Kit — an open-hardware environmental sensor built by the citizen-science community and streaming straight from smartcitizen.me. No press release, no press office: just a small board of sensors, reporting what it measures.
At Edible Makerspace, we treat the kitchen as a laboratory and the neighbourhood as a research site. This feed is the same idea pointed outward: if you can open your food and your soil to inquiry, you can open your air too. Reading a live PM2.5 number instead of a headline is a small act of technological literacy — and, we think, a more honest relationship with the tropical, haze-prone climate we live in.
This particular node is part of citizenquack-sg, our local deployment of the CitizenQuack participatory sensing project (learn more).

Curious what's actually in the air you breathe?
That's the same question that got this sensor built. Edible Makerspace runs hands-on workshops on citizen science, DIY environmental monitoring, and biodiversity tracking — where you crack open the hardware, poke at the numbers, and learn to build instruments like this one yourself. No science background required, just the itch to find out how things actually work.
