Sensor Development & Environmental Monitoring

Create custom sensing systems for measuring and monitoring environmental conditions. Learn about different sensor types (temperature, humidity, air quality, soil moisture) and their integration with microcontrollers. Build wireless sensor networks for community monitoring projects, develop data logging systems, and create visualization tools for sensor data. Understand calibration, accuracy, and long-term deployment considerations for outdoor monitoring systems. Also develop "aesthetic sensing" systems that respond to environmental conditions in beautiful, non-functional ways, acknowledging non-human agency and creating "meaningful otherness" through electronic interaction with living systems.
