About Us

Project Earth Lens was founded to bridge the gap between scientific observation and visual storytelling. While climate change and public health are data-heavy topics, K-12 students often lack the creative tools to visualize these connections in a meaningful way.

Our initiative uses the medium of Digital Arts, specifically photography, videography, and interactive data visualization to turn natural environments into "Living Studios." By documenting field experiments in diverse ecosystems (Alpine, Rainforest, and Urban), we produce high-fidelity documentary films and open-source visual assets that allow students to replicate our work.

The project is led by a creative technologist and a team of youth "Visual Ambassadors" (Ages 5–15), utilizing a peer-to-peer storytelling model to prove that complex technical concepts can be mastered and visualized by elementary-age creator

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to democratize access to New Media Arts and STEAM education 

We create open source visual curricula that teach students how to use photography, creative coding, and sensory technology to tell the story of our planet's health, fostering a new generation of creative technologists.

Our Programs

The AI Lens

The AI Lens (Creative Coding)

Using open-source Computer Vision tools, we curate artistic image datasets of biodiversity. Students learn Generative Art and Machine Learning concepts by training visual models to identify flora and fauna. This activity treats AI not just as a tool, but as a medium for artistic exploration of the natural world.

Output: Publicly available visual training sets and interactive "Smart Camera" demonstrations for educational use.

The Cryosphere Studio(Alpine Media)

We conduct field photography and sensor deployment in high-altitude environments. This module teaches students the art of Nature Photography combined with IoT (Internet of Things) data logging. Students learn to capture the "Albedo Effect" visually and translate raw environmental data into understandable graphic visualizations.

Output: An open-source photo library of alpine micro-climates and a documentary video series on creative sensor building.

The Sentinel Exhibit (Interactive Art)

We create interactive "Sentinel" demonstrations that visualize the link between Environmental Quality and Human Physiology. Workshops use bio-feedback sensors (Pulse Oximeters) to create real-time Data Visualizations, showing students how their own bodies respond to their environment in a tangible, visual way.

Output: Interactive educational workshops and digital media exhibits correlating health and nature.
