About this Event
Across the UK, thousands of weather stations continuously gather environmental data that helps scientists monitor atmospheric conditions and improve weather forecasting. From local weather predictions to long-term climate research, this information plays a crucial role in understanding the world around us.
In this workshop, participants will use a Micro:bit to build a more advanced working weather station, writing real Python code to read data from multiple sensors and output live readings to a screen. Going beyond the basics, participants will explore how professional environmental monitoring systems work and how engineers use data to track and respond to our changing climate.
