PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
SONYC: is an introduction to the study of noise pollution, one of the topmost quality-of-life issues for urban residents in the United States and particularly in NYC. Students will be able to study the public health consequences of sound by sampling sounds, studying sound waves in local communities, building devices that make and monitor sound, and evaluating how pollution ultimately affects human well-being. Students will demonstrate the skills and knowledge they learn by creating actual smart city technologies that they present at an end-of-program expo.
