From Classroom to Campus: How Campus Weather Station Empowers Learning and Protection

The Campus Weather Station is a professional meteorological observation and science popularization facility adapted to educational scenarios, emerging from the dual needs of science education reform and campus safety management. Under the guidance of core competency education, traditional classrooms struggle to meet students' needs for practical exploration of natural sciences, while extreme weather events triggered by climate change also place higher demands on the safety of campus activities. Thus, the Campus Weather Station has become a link connecting theoretical teaching with the real environment, not only filling the gap in outdoor practical education but also providing data support for campus safety.

The core of the product consists of a hardware system and supporting functions. The hardware part, centered on a modular design, includes diverse monitoring equipment and data processing units: Sensors can accurately record basic parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, and air pressure, and can also be expanded to monitor elements like soil temperature and humidity, ultraviolet radiation, and noise, with configurations adjustable on demand. It is equipped with manual observation instruments such as psychrometers, sunshine recorders, and FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Stevenson screens to meet students' hands-on practice needs. The data collector adopts a high-precision design, supports multiple communication methods, and can transmit data via wired or wireless networks. Combined with a dual power supply system of solar energy and municipal electricity, it can operate continuously for ten days without power failure. The bracket is used to fix various equipment, featuring anti-corrosion and waterproof properties to ensure stable outdoor placement.

Supporting functions focus on the dual values of education and safety. The data management platform can display real-time data, store historical data, generate reports and analysis curves, support Excel format export and web upload, facilitating teachers and students to conduct long-term observation and research. Some platforms can also connect to LED screens to realize data visualization. The education module provides interdisciplinary practical support, which can be connected to teaching scenarios such as climate analysis in geography classes, plant growth observation in biology classes, and programming practice in information technology classes. Schools can also carry out observation training, knowledge competitions and other activities relying on the equipment. In terms of safety, it has a threshold alarm function. When parameters such as wind speed and rainfall exceed the standard, it can issue warnings through platform messages, sound and light prompts, etc., to assist schools in adjusting outdoor activity arrangements. The overall equipment is designed with lightning protection, enabling long-term and stable operation in outdoor environments, and has become a core facility for campus science popularization and safety assurance.
