Flashback to 2018. Back then, I was working with Code for Africa, through Code for Tanzania, the local arm here.
One of the projects I got to be part of was a system built to collect air pollution data, low-cost, customizable units deployed across a number of major cities in Africa. The goal wasn’t just measurement for its own sake. It was giving policymakers and city planners real data to work with, the kind of information that actually shapes decisions about how a city grows.
Emmanuel Evance led that project. These particular images are from a session where we brought the technology to school students, not to solve pollution outright, but to show young minds what’s actually possible when you point technology at a real problem.
I’ve since moved on from the company, but I have no doubt the project’s impact outlived my time there.
