Middle School
Smart Weather and Power Lab: Iot Solutions for Sustainable Energy
12 years old
This STEM educational program provides first-year middle school students with an exciting opportunity to design and build a miniature, fully functional energy and weather station, replicating the core features of real-world systems. Through immersive, hands-on activities, students are introduced to foundational concepts in renewable energy and meteorology, exploring the dynamic relationship between the two. The program fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of sustainable technologies through experiential learning.
Objectives of the program:
By the end of the program, students will be able to:
✔ Understanding Renewable Energy Sources: Students will learn how wind turbines and solar panels function and how they generate energy.
✔ Introduction to Engineering and Construction: Students will assemble the mechanical components of the wind turbine and the weather station while understanding basic principles of physics and engineering.
✔ Fundamentals of Electronics and Automation: They will build and connect electronic circuits, sensors, and data processing units.
✔ Programming and Data Analysis: Students will learn to collect, process, and visualize meteorological and energy production data through a cloud platform.
✔ 2D & 3D Design: They will use CAD software to design and create station components.
✔ Exploring the Relationship Between Meteorological Data and Climate: Students will understand how the station’s measurements (wind, rainfall, temperature, etc.) relate to climate conditions and how these affect the performance of renewable energy sources.
✔ Teamwork and Innovation: Students will collaborate to create a fully functional system, developing problem-solving and creative thinking skills.
