Senior School (Ages 12-17)

Challenge

Use Raspberry Pi or similar to: Track energy collected, used, and water purified. Send data to a central database via the mobile network.

With the sun shining free almost every day, using a solar-powered system, we can tap this clean energy by purifying water and charging and storing light energy to be used by schools or homes at night.

Use a smartboard like Raspberry Pi or any other available device to write a program to collect and store energy amounts available, used, and the amount of water purified through the system. Using the mobile network, send the data to a central database for storage and analysis.
