Project Ideas Needed: Environmental Science with Arduino or Raspberry Pi

Former Member
Former Member over 7 years ago

I'm looking for ideas/projects we can design using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi with high school students. My students are participating in Make/Google's Summer Maker Camp and they just sent us a couple of Arduino Unos to build our projects around. Since I'm really new to single-board computers, I'd love to hear from everyone here for ideas..

 

It would be awesome if we could find projects related to:

  • Environmental Science (like the one mentioned in this post)
  • Oceanography
  • Animal Health

We just ordered a couple copies of this book about Environmental Sensing and Ardiuno from MakerShed.com.

We think these devices would be great for sensing things in the environment (such as temperature, pressure, water quality, etc.), but we are also looking for ways to output that data.

 

If anyone has links, suggestions or even just wants to brainstorm ideas for how an Arduino or Raspberry Pi might be used at an aquarium (I work at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago), then let me know!

    One of the best ways to begin looking at issues in the environment is to measure and record the parameters in your local area.

     

    The Arduino provides a great way to set up sensors for data logging over a…
