Also at Syracuse, Dan Pacheco, a chair in journalism innovation in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, teaches a tech for new media course. He’s working with students on using Arduino microcontrollers and sensors to “measure everything from air quality to temperature,” he says. “When you connect the Arduino to the Internet, it can upload data to a database so that others can see it and compare to their own data. These citizen sensor networks provide an alternative to government-reported data sources,” he says.

Newhouse’s Peter A. Horvitz Endowed Chair in Journalism Innovation Dan Pacheco has been asked to give the dinner keynote for 30th anniversary conference of CASE, Syracuse University’s Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering. The presentation will be a “demonstration of exciting future technologies that will soon impact our lives.”  Here’s the agenda for CASE: http://case.syr.edu/cybersecuity1april.html
