SkyCast Station
Students design and build a self-powered school weather station with sensors for wind speed, rainfall, temperature, and humidity. They use Arduino coding, 3D printing, and solar energy to make it fully independent and broadcast-ready.
- High School
Students design and construct a fully functional, standalone weather station for school broadcast use in this advanced control systems and environmental science project. The station monitors key environmental conditions, including digital wind speed, rainfall intensity, temperature, and humidity, making it ideal for weather reports and science displays. Using ProjoTech’s special kit (Climatics), students 3D print the station’s housing, assemble the electronics, and integrate a solar-powered energy system with battery storage for off-grid functionality. They wire and connect the sensors, design the electrical system, and code the logic using Arduino to display and possibly transmit real-time weather data. After the build, students enter the testing and optimization phase, fine-tuning sensor accuracy and energy efficiency. This project blends electronics, renewable energy, coding, environmental monitoring, and hands-on engineering. It empowers students to apply their STEM knowledge to an innovative, real-world solution contributing to daily school life.
