The purpose of the system

Project aiming at students so they can create something useful and get practical experience. It is also educational (programming in C, wiring, etc.) and shows young enthusiasts that you don't need a lot of money to create something purposeful.

Project goals

Collect all the necessary material for production
Implementation of the meteorological station
Make easy to follow instructions for replicating the project appropriate for high school students

Resources

People
- Team members
Waste material
- Institutional waste that is no longer used
- Belongins of team members
Ready-made technologies
- Microcontroller (Arduino)
- Microchips (ESP-32)
- Sensors - BMP-280, DHT-11

Limitations

Resources
- Inability to procure a certain component out of waste
- Need for buying cheap components and sensors
- Imprecision of sensors
- Robustness of the board in the end of implementation
Time
- Completing the project checkpoints within the deadlines
- Finishing the project by May, 30th
Money
- Components that are bought must be cheap and easy to get
