Main Idea
Students create a shelter in Mars to effectively protect them and provide themselves a safe place. They decide to make a gas sensor to measure the CO and CO2 in the air and to make an effort to reduce it or inform people to wear masks or leave away in case the concentration is high.

Learning Activities
Description
Students should choose the appropriate sensor for detecting CO and the most suitable software to use. Afterwards, they should figure out how to connect the gas sensor and how to program it. At the end of the course students will be able to understand that several detection gadgets could be built and use them in several cases.
