The National Science Experiment introduced school students in Singapore to data-driven science. The team developed a wearable sensor platform within less than a year, had 50,000 units produced, and built the cloud infrastructure and a web application for exploring the data. Students carried the sensors for a week while they recorded environmental measurements, and then analysed their own data. The experiment ran in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and involved more than 94,000 students in total.

National Experiment Grant accepted
Our national experiment proposal was announced by President Dr Tony Tan. This project is led by Prof. Erik Wilhelm of the EPD pillar at SUTD. The project aims to provide Singaporean school students with smart sensors that can be used for scientific experiments at school. In total, it will involve 250,000 students over the next three years.

Connecting to SUTD VPN from Ubuntu/Linux
This short post summarizes the settings required to connect to SUTD’s Juniper VPN box from Ubuntu (other distros might slightly differ). This is enabled due to MadScientist’s perl scripting magic, and some trial & error on my side.
