TASK – which stands for Think Air School Kit – is the UK’s first air quality activity kit designed just for kids.
A complete sensor-based STEM learning kit in a box, TASK lets curious kids measure air quality, temperature, humidity, light, and sound.
It’s easy to use, simple to teach, and brings classrooms to life after months of virtual learning.
Aimed at Key Stages 1 – 4, TASK covers all key areas of the new national curriculum – helping pupils to develop valuable literacy, numeracy, and digital skills.
TASK also supports STEM and cross-curricular learning through immersive activities that fit seamlessly with existing teaching plans.
Focusing on our environment has never been so important. Monitoring – and improving – air quality helps schools to minimise both children and teachers’ exposure to harmful pollutants.
And getting pupils involved is even better.
Child and teacher wellness is a key area of focus for schools across the UK – and for the scientists and teachers behind TASK, too.
Chronic exposure to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) indoors can have a wide range of health effects. It can also contribute to behavioural changes, physical and mental performance, and reduced school attendance.
Children brought to school by car or bus are exposed to higher levels of air pollution than those who walk, and children with asthma are particularly vulnerable.
TASK is committed to helping schools, teachers, and pupils to become champions for change – giving the next generation the skills they need for a better tomorrow.
Unveiled at 10 Downing Street as part of the UK Government’s Together for our Planet campaign, TASK is an initiative of Think Air – the UK’s leading air quality technology company.
Think Air brings you simple, smart solutions for safe, healthy environments. It’s also helping schools and businesses understand – and take steps to improve – air quality and pollution across the UK.
Led by Swansea University Professor Emeritus, Paul Lewis, Think Air’s cutting-edge sensors are changing the way we monitor, measure, and analyse are quality in internal, external, and agricultural environments.
Think Air is also committed to spreading awareness and understanding of the air that we breathe, and is providing the most reliable, forward-thinking advice to governments and policy makers across the UK.
