When we talk about indoor air quality, the conversation is usually led by scientists, engineers or policy makers. Sometimes, though, the most compelling research comes from the people breathing that air every day. Róise, a 16-year-old secondary school student, is one of them. Róise took part in Sci-Fest, a second-level STEM fair in Ireland, with a project inspired ... Read more

We spent some time exploring the calculator using realistic UK primary classroom assumptions and varying only the things schools can actually control - airflow (CADR) ... Read more
