The SeaShift Collaborative is an interdisciplinary team designing for where architecture, product design, material science, marine biology, and microbiology meet. SeaShift set out to design a floating research device to aid citizens and scientists in studying microplastics in the Bay. This device, the Living Data Pod, placed at urban shorelines accessible to schools and the public, puts the collection of water quality data in the hands of citizens. In conjunction with the team for PlanktoScope, a project by Plankton Planet and the Prakash Lab at Stanford University, designers and scientists meet to discuss opportunities for open-source design and environmental stewardship through citizen science. This collaborative project is a resident at the San Francisco Autodesk Technology Center
