In recent years, an aging workforce and a shortage of new hires have raised concerns about the future of the water treatment industry. However, recent technological advances, such as developments in computer simulations and educational systems, offer promising solutions to this pressing problem. Building on these new technologies, our work presents a system that addresses the looming challenges in the fields of water resources, water pollution, and water purification. To address these issues comprehensively, we have leveraged Raspberry Pi technology to monitor critical parameters such as water temperature and pH. Additionally, we have incorporated camera functionality to transmit real-time data to a mobile app, providing users with up-to-the-minute information on water quality. The interactive and entertaining nature of the lab trivia game is not only educational but also entertaining, encouraging students to delve deeper into the complexities of water pollution and gain valuable insights into the water purification process.
