"do it conservation research together" workshop
Wed-Friday, Oct 20-22, 2021
- Work in collaborative teams to build a prototype citizen science project in a day.
- Work with Hungarian, Slovakian and Czech experts on project ideas that create online interfaces or data visualisations to help communities assess the state of nature, showcase biodiversity values or communicate degradation.
- Explore how artificial intelligence, virtual reality can be used in community science, how to capture and visualise place-based data with OpenBioMaps, how to launch iNaturalist-based research.
- Learn about how to build trusted partnerships between the scientific community and volunteer data collectors, how to structure communication for citizen science campaigns and the principles of data collection and data sharing.
Program
First, we present an example project that could be suitable for further development or give ideas for planning similar projects. This example project is a ‘citizen science’ curriculum designed for university students researching urban biodiversity. We then have a brainstorming session to define the goal project for the event. To create the best supported idea, we create teams, the teams work with the participation of experts (mentors), and then at the end of the event we combine the work of each team into a complete project plan, which is published. Mentors will be practitioners who have been dealing with social science at home or abroad for some time.
Location, accommodation and meals
The venue of the event is provided by Hortobágyi Halgazdaság Zrt. In cooperation with the Hortobágy National Park Directorate. Accommodation will be in Öregtavi Guesthouse. Accommodation and meals for participants will be covered by Visegrad Found (CITIZEN SCIENCE IN THE CARPATHIANS : http://carpathians.citizenscience.cz/)

DIY Science Lab programs at the Researcher’s Night in Budapest
Impact Hub Budapest, Ferenciek tere 2. 1st. floor, 60 bell.
17h-19h Narrative development workshop on air sensing
A workshop is about development of some local narratives on air pollution and sensing that we intend to use for framing/communicating the local needs. We start a discussion with local knowledge representatives who would take the ownership of air sensing.

19h-20.30h Science Cafés on Making Sense of Radiation and Noise
Science Café on Ionizing Radiation Sensing: We will talk about the state of art methods of ionizing and background radiation detection. How citizens could be involved in radiation sensing through a ‘crowdsourcing’ model of data collection (Citizen Radiation Monitoring – CRM)?
Science Café on UV Radiation Sensing: In 2016, SOLaware Technologies was started with the mission to raise awareness about sun exposure via digital technologies. The SOLaware Display is a modular sun safety education system that informs about local UV levels, educates about preventative sun safety steps, and provides protection through on-the-spot access to sunscreen to help lower the risks of sunburns and skin cancer.
Science Café on ‘Quiet places of Budapest’ 'Quiet places around us' is a very new initiative of DIY Science LAB, ESSRG and SpaceEngagers. Quiet place is a citizen observatory project to map and evaluate quiet areas of Budapest. By using noise sensors and a free mobile app citizens will contribute to making quietness available to all local residents.

DIY SCIENCE LAB: AIR SENSING Hackathon
"air you breathe"
Hackathon aims to get a better picture of air quality in Budapest by using the currently available IoT, community mapping and sensor technologies.
HUMAN SENSING Hackathon is involved with mentors and finds out their project idea during a guided-completion process. The specialty of the event is that each team gets the same air quality sensors and raw materials, and their creative ideas depend on the solution they use for them.
The event is organized on September 29 at the workshop of Makerspace.hu, which provides an inspiring site for designing. The tools and technical assistance needed to create prototypes (own illustrative materials) are also available.
We invite young creative developers, artists, designers, designers, IT and business professionals, university students or researchers who are sensitive to the air quality health problems of urban life and are ready to work in a team and make it great and useful within 8 hours.
Complete event registration form before September 25, 2018 and please share the event on facebook

DIY SCIENCE LAB: Quiet places in Budapest
Workshop on quiet and peaceful places in the city
We are looking for community and technology solutions to understand urban noise and issues related to quiet areas. We build on the knowledge and needs of civilians, residents and experts in the spirit of open and participatory planning.
On August 24, 2018, at 17h-20h we organize our story / narrative development workshop at Makerspace.hu.
We work together with the participants to draw up a script of a community mapping action. This script will be used as a starting point for "Quiet places around us" - Action Design and Prototyping Hackathon next day.
Whether you are a city citizen or a community representative or a researcher and you think, it is important to protect our quiet places in the city, sign up and share your ideas at the very first steps of our co-design process!
Join the event on meetup site or write an email us: diysciencelab@gmail.com
