Marduino: my buoy, our data and the ocean

Mission: To present MARDUINO project. This crowd science project aims to increase people’s awareness of seawater quality. MARDUINO proposes the design of a low budget DIY sea buoy: KdUINO buoy. The buoy allows citizens to measure seawater transparency. Scientists are able to forecast changes in seawater quality by analyzing its transparency variations.

Approach: Introductory video filmed in studio and outdoors during one of the research group field trips. Motion graphics used to explain some of the concepts.
