Il Majorana al Polo Nord

Il Majorana al Polo Nord


What is the project about?
It is a technological artefact created with Arduino and equipped with sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, brightness and height of the snow cover.
It was delivered to IIA-CNR researchers and installed on the Svalbard islands, 79th parallel, North Pole!
The data collected can be viewed in real time on a website



Where did you get the idea?
From the proposal of an IIA-CNR researcher to take "something" created by us with him on a mission to the North Pole. The DS has activated a project with PNRR funds to introduce students to the basics of climatology and another with Institute funds for the actual realization of our idea. 4 months of full immersion!



How are creativity, technology, ingenuity and innovation combined in your project?
The technology of Arduino and its sensors, the ingenuity in having assembled them in an IP67 box to withstand the extreme conditions of the Arctic, the innovation in the fact that now at the North Pole there is something created by school students superior, the creativity in having 3D printed the name of the school and the city, which now stands out there!

This is the first project of this team, but its continuation is already planned for September 2024. We first studied the basics of climatology and then studied in depth the electronics and computer science necessary to assemble and program the artifact. We became makers thanks to the email sent to our school by the "Maker Faire Rome" and the determination of the IIA-CNR researchers who encouraged us to present the project.
