WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – Hirschi High School Information Technology students conducted field research on atmospheric conditions during a solar eclipse. The results will be announced this week.
The students will collect data for research aimed at a number of sustainable development goals based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015. I built the unit from the MaxIQ STEM kit. These goals include #3 Health and Wellbeing and #7 Affordability. Clean Energy and #17 Life on Land.
The data these students collect will contribute to the global understanding of microclimates and how sunlight affects temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
The goal of MaxIQ is to collect data from different localized spots along the path of the eclipse with different degrees of totality. The results of this data will be announced on World Earth Day, April 22nd.
The data collected will help students around the world understand how microclimates and sunlight influence temperature, humidity, and air pressure. The goal of MaxIQ is to map environmental data for different regions of totality along the path of the solar eclipse. These results will be presented to the United Nations on April 22nd, World Earth Day. MaxIQ said:
MaxIQ told the United Nations that “Once configured, the kit posts data to a Kibana dashboard for all participants to download and analyze, compare notes and datasets, and prepare for presentations at space and environment conferences. We encourage undergraduate and professional students to develop research projects based on this data. ”
Hirschi students received MaxIQ kits as part of their “Your Place in Space Challenge” prize money.
