In this training, we will be doing a walkthrough of publicly accessible tools in OpenAQ, such as the Explorer and AQI hub. As an example use case, we will also learn how UNICEF was able to use the data from OpenAQ as a training set for their air quality model. Participants are welcome to follow along using their computers, but it is not required.
