Students Work with NASA to Forecast Dust Storms

The video tutorial discusses a group of Maryland high school students who developed an app called Dust Watch. The app, available on the iOS App Store, uses NASA data to warn users about dust storm conditions. Inspired by a documentary, the students researched dust storms and collaborated with a software engineer and the National Weather Service to create the app. Despite their busy schedules, they successfully developed the app, which tracks air quality metrics and provides forecasts. They presented their work to NASA scientists, receiving valuable feedback and gaining a sense of accomplishment.
