Global school network of weather stations

Create a weather experiment where schools could gather and access weather data from over 1000 weather stations from around the globe.

How

  • Raspberry Pi hardware kit
  • build their own weather station
  • write application code that logs a range of weather data:
    • wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity;
  • Store data in a database

Once it is built

Develop a website on the Raspberry Pi to display local weather conditions that can be accessed by other participating schools;

Access a Weather Station for Schools program website

  • the geographical location of all school weather stations

  • interact with other participants about their experiences

  • blog, and get online technical support.
