Smart Air Quality Monitoring MONI.CA Hackathon Project

I participated in the MONI.CA (MONI.CA Project) Hackathon as part of a multidisciplinary team that developed a conceptual smart air quality monitoring system. We collected real-world environmental data using drones and gliders, processed it with Python, and built an interactive dashboard using Streamlit. The prototype included a logic for real-time SMS alerts when PM (Particulate Matter) thresholds were exceeded, aiming to integrate into a Smart City framework. The project was presented in collaboration with academic institutions.

Key Contributions:

• Analyzed environmental data collected via drone and glider sensors

• Created interactive GIS heatmaps using Folium

• Built a Streamlit app for real-time air quality visualization

• Designed SMS alert logic to notify users in critical PM conditions

• Collaborated on visual materials and the final group presentation
