SENSE: Sensor Show & Tell

​PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is only open to the NYU Community (active students, staff, and faculty). Use your nyu.edu email during registration. Thank you!

​Sensors are everywhere, from tracking pollution in our neighborhoods to powering smart devices, and building them offers a unique window into how we measure and understand the world.

​Join us for the second SENSE network gathering, an interactive show-and-tell session focused on the electronics behind an air quality monitoring station. This event is open to anyone curious about sensors, whether you're just getting started or have years of experience designing hardware.

​Josh Lee, a PhD candidate in the Urban Systems program, will present an air quality sensor he has been developing from scratch for his research. He will walk through the key goals and constraints that shaped the project, and share how those decisions led to the current design from component choices to circuit architecture.

​After the presentation, the workshop will shift into a collaborative discussion where participants will explore ways to improve and evolve the system. Together, we will examine the circuit, exchange ideas, and brainstorm future iterations. Whether you are interested in hands-on electronics, environmental sensing, or simply learning how real-world devices come together, this is a space to ask questions, share insights, and get inspired.

​Participants will leave with practical knowledge, new perspectives, and connections that can support their own projects, no matter their starting point.

​SENSE (Sensor Engineering Network for Science and Education) is a growing community of students and researchers across NYU interested in designing, building, and applying sensor systems. We bring people together across disciplines to share knowledge, collaborate, and advance sensor technologies for real-world impact.
