Abstract
A better understanding of our environment is vital if we are to make informed decisions about a diverse range of issues from transport to energy security. But at a local level, good quality data that could help inform and engage communities is in short supply. The primary sources project adopts concepts of participatory sensing to inform the development of a mobile based digital pet game for environmental data collection. This paper describes the initial participatory workshop leading to the design of a digital pet game, aimed primarily at children, that aims to explore the connection between open data collection and increasing community engagement.
