Location: The Hans Rosling Center for Population Health, UW Seattle Campus
Leads: Samantha Scalia and Ria Iyer
Timeline: March 2021 to Present
The PHB Rainwater Display Project integrates an interactive educational system within the Hans Rosling Population Health Building to promote awareness of rainwater conservation.
The project focuses on capturing and storing real-time rainwater harvesting data, which is then processed into an accurate and engaging visual display. An interactive set of mini-games is incorporated to enhance visitor engagement and reinforce learning about sustainable water practices. Additionally, the system educates users on rainwater purification methods, bridging environmental data with hands-on public interaction.
