senseBox und openSenseMap: Umweltmonitoring für Jedermann

Abstract

The senseBox:home is a Citizen Science DIY toolkit for the local measurement of environmental data such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, illuminance and UV light. It is based on the Arduino / Genuino platform and can be easily integrated into our sensor web platform openSenseMap, where it provides continuous measurement data. The senseBox:edu is a toolbox designed to provide pupils and junior researchers with programming in a playful and tangible way. For this simple circuits are set up, which are programmed and controlled with the help of a microcontroller. [Team at ifgi, 201x]. Thus, the senseBox offers a good opportunity for a practical introduction to programming as well as a step-by-step introduction to the design of your own engineering projects in the fields of geoinformatics, sensorics and photonics, such as projects on the subject of the city of the future. This is an important contribution to environmental education.
