DigifunziBuild a Weather Station
Collect real data, then make it tell a story
Six lessons that blend hardware and data skills. Learners wire up temperature and humidity sensors, write code to log readings on a schedule, then move to a laptop to clean, chart and interpret the week of data they collected. Finishes with a short presentation brief. A gentle, real-world introduction to how data projects actually work.

Where it's used
Common questions
Do we need special equipment?
A Quarky covers every sensor this project uses. If your school already has temperature/humidity sensors, those work too — the wiring guide covers the common ones.
Why does it run over a week?
The point is real data. Learners log readings for several days so their charts show an actual pattern, not a flat line from one afternoon.
