Roslin Primary School

The University of Edinburgh's involvement in Roslin Primary School began in 2019 mainly through teacher Colin Burt's interest in integrating data literacy into many aspects of his teaching.

Colin had already engaged a team of enthusiastic P5 learners as data explorers, and they embraced the newly developed indoor environment lessons.  Their learning demonstrated a deep understanding of using data from sensor technology to investigate potential improvements in their learning environment. 

The data technology team tested one of their newly acquired Air Quality Monitors on the school grounds.  The data explorers negotiated with the janitor to mount it in the school garden.

They were surprised when a blip appeared on their atmospheric pressure monitor.
