WE DID IT! Tini Scientific’s first project is fully funded!

Not only did we make it, but we made it to 148% of our goal! The support has been inspiring and we can’t thank you enough. We appreciate ALL support no matter how big or small. Every little bit got us one step closer.

So what’s next?

Updates! Project backers will be receiving regular updates through Lab Notes emailed directly to your inbox. We will also be sharing our progress on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

Coding! By using a product anyone can buy at the local mall, we can start coding an app right away. We’ve already mapped out the functionality needed for collecting, storing and sharing data.

Testing! It’s winter in the northern hemisphere, but that won’t stop us from throwing smartwatches in the water. We have access to a pool and a pool robot, which are a surprisingly effective test platform for a smartwatch and its sensors.

So please stay tuned as we build the thing. And again, our sincerest thanks!

-Kim and Virginia

About This Project

The best sensor is the one you’re already wearing.

Smartwatches contain sensors already used by scientists to study the ocean, like a GPS, barometer, and thermometer. This project aims to measure the physical properties of the coastal ocean by turning smartwatches into smart sensors. We will create an app to measure, view and share data, then test the sensors against commercially available sensors to determine if they can be used for research and monitoring the coastal ocean.

Blast off!
