DOMOSENS at the turning point

The mid-term meeting for the DOMOSENS Alternanza Lavoro-Scuola project was held on February 23, 2017 at the FBK Povo Hub.

Launched in the fall of last year, the project Has involved a total of about 200 participants: students of six schools from Trentino guided by their teachers and coordinated by a working group made up of researchers and technicians of Fondazione Bruno Kessler.

The DomoSens project simulates a company that has the aim to offer the market an air quality monitoring sensor hor homes in 9 months. It is a sensor that combines gas detection capabilities with a professional design that makes it a potentially multi-purpose furnishing element.

The main object of the meeting were the intermediate results achieved, and the arrangements for the last activities scheduled before the end of the school year.

First, the logo of the project, that had been selected in a participatory manner by consulting the entire community involved, was made official.

The author of the logo that finally prevailed is the student Gian Marco Gorza, 5D (Industry design and Jewelery and Metal Design) of Art High School “A.Vittoria” of Trento.
