Popis: This chapter introduces a study of microclimate data by two students, conducted in two different cities. In doing so, we attempt to highlight how each learner’s respective lived environment and experience give rise to different questions and ideas. The project reported in this paper was conducted by two high-school students as part of their internship with the lead author. It can be considered a proof-of-concept of an experiment and curriculum in which local, real-time data are collected and used by learners as they seek to go beyond canonical knowledge from textbooks. Data, in the form of environmental readings comprising temperature, relative humidity, air pressure and air quality, were collected via Arduino-based sensors set up in Hanoi, Vietnam and Singapore.
