Your toolkit for digital education, citizen science and environmental monitoring
New: The new senseBox:edu S2 is here! Shop
The senseBox was developed for use in digital education, for Citizen Science and for professional environmental data collection.
The senseBox:home is a kit for a do-it-yourself environmental measuring station. Thanks to its modular design, each senseBox:home can be put together individually.
The senseBox:edu was developed especially for use in the educational sector. Fascinating projects and many free learning materials allow an easy and uncomplicated start.
The senseBox:mini the set for the entry into the world of senseBox. It offers everything you need for your first IoT projects. The included senseBox environmental sensor enables the detection of a wide range of environmental phenomena.
Measure the CO2 concentration at home or school and display the concentration live on the screen and visualize it with RGB LED. The senseBox CO2 traffic light is designed as a DIY-Kit and contains all important components to build a CO2 traffic light for monitoring the air quality in the room.
Blockly for senseBox is the graphical programming environment for the senseBox. With Blockly, even absolute programming beginners can create their first programs in no time at all using drag & drop.
The programming environment can be used online at any time without installation and thus minimizes both technical and professional hurdles.
The openSenseMap is our data platform for open data of any kind. Every senseBox:home, but also many other IoT measuring devices, transfer their data to the map, where they can be viewed, analysed and downloaded.
The platform is completely free and all collected data is published under the Public Domain Dedication and License 1.0.
The Air Quality Explorer Set allows you to examine indoor and outdoor air quality. It includes a CO₂ sensor and a particulate matter sensor along with the accessories needed to connect it to senseBox microcontrollers. It is compatible with both the senseBox:edu and the senseBox:edu S2. Check out the Air Quality Explorer Set.
The senseBox was featured on WDR! In the segment, our "senseBox:bike" was presented by its inventor and IT expert Felix. The interview was part of the workshop "Using the senseBox:bike for data-driven cycling cities," where 20 citizens of Münster participated to help shape the mobility transition using their own environmental and traffic data.

The senseBox was developed at the University of Münster as part of a research project at the Institute for Geoinformatics. Thanks to various funding from different sponsors, the idea was able to mature further and further. Over a period of three years, until the end of 2019, the "BMBF Open Photonics" funding in particular provided significant support for the further development of the senseBox. Even during this period, the chance of a successful spin-off of the product division became apparent, which was followed by the founding of Reedu GmbH & Co. KG. This spin-off was additionally promoted with an EXIST start-up grant from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy. In order to continue researching innovative ideas related to the senseBox, the association of spin-off companies and university was able to successfully apply for another project in the field of "Photonics Research Germany". Since November 2019, the "senseBox:pro" research project has been one of several projects in the "Open Photonik Pro" funding measure. With this measure, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is pursuing the goal of enabling new forms of cooperation between science and industry with the maker and founder scene.
