Contact: Dr. Caleb Farny, Boston University, farny@bu.edu

This project is a multi-session effort that is ideal for a high school engineering class or extracurricular student group that focuses on engineering projects. The end goal is to build a solar-powered weather station that collects data on air temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and wind speed, and wirelessly transmits the data to a website. The project manual and accompanying video tutorials describe the equipment needed and steps required to build the weather station.
