In this hands-on workshop, students will learn how to build a simple digital rainfall tracking system using a Raspberry Pi and a rain sensor. This engaging session introduces weather technology, basic coding, and environmental awareness — perfect for students curious about how tech can support smarter farming, flood prevention, or climate monitoring.

What students will learn:

  1. How to connect a rain sensor to a Raspberry Pi
  2. Basics of Python programming to read sensor data.
  3. How to log rainfall and display it over time.
  4. Real-world uses of rainfall data in farming and local planning.

Expected outcome: Participants will learn how to measure, record, and react to rain with just a few lines of code.
