Project objectives
Objectives
- Adapt locally developed weather-station designs for production and use in another field setting.
- Build practical skills in assembly, deployment and maintenance using accessible components.
- Share documentation and experience to support sustainable environmental observation.
The research question
How can local teams maintain the environmental observations their research needs?
Research approach
Research approach
A December 2025 workshop at KEMRI adapted weather-station designs developed through SEACO collaboration for local production in Kenya. The approach combines 3D-printed components and accessible electronics with hands-on training. WindChaser documentation supports assembly, deployment and maintenance.
Documented activity: KEMRI workshop, 11–12 December 2025 · Building on 3D-PAWS methods
