Float Beijing project helps monitor air quality index in Beijing

The kite-flying tradition that hailed from ancient China has a new lease of life, as it has resulted in a new tool that citizens can use for monitoring air quality all over Beijing. This project is the collaboration between a Chinese graduate student and a graduate student from the US, where it was inspired from the controversy surrounding statistics of China's air pollution. Known as the “Float Beijing” project, its kites will not only brighten up the sky, but also carry air pollution sensors in addition to colorful LED lights that depict the current levels of air quality.
