Description

Research has shown that natural sounds (birdsong, rain, insects) have beneficial physical, mental, and cognitive health impacts. Starting with this prompt, we hope to (over the next year), collaboratively gather sounds in our environment (natural, built, and human-influenced). We will use these recordings as data for research, for mapping, and for creative installations. And design and implement these research and creative projects together.

In this session, we'll think about what we want to record and why, learn (in about 15 - 30 mins) how to record using various devices and how to share, and brainstorm what we want to research, and analyse and interesting ways to create and tell stories.

Over the course of this participatory science project,

participants will learn to design and implement research projects to gather, tag, analyse, interpret, and visualize data in a variety of ways. We will combine these sound maps with other maps and datasets to find patterns and correlations learning to use more complex data analytic tools like machine learning. we will have collaboratively created a rich dataset as a community resource and built new expertise in designing and implementing impactful research.
