Schools will receive a free air quality monitor linked to an interactive Web App where teachers and pupils can view the data in a range of formats and use it in in-app curriculum-linked activities. SAMHE (pronounced \u2018Sammy\u2019!) stands for Schools\u2019 Air quality Monitoring for Health and Education. It is a new DfE supported research project which brings together scientists, pupils and teachers to help understand indoor air quality in UK schools. SAMHE was designed in partnership with schools to ensure it meets their needs and is fun and engaging for pupils. Teachers say that it\u2019s \u201cpowerful to see the live feed of the data\u201d and the \u201crange of options allows us to use this system across the STEM subjects\u201d.
