MetroKid
Client
An educational STEM kit company creating a build-it-yourself weather station that teaches children about meteorology, sensors, and data analysis.
Challenge
Making a weather station kit that is educational to assemble (20 minutes with a screwdriver), produces accurate data for local forecasting, and keeps children engaged through AI-powered predictions.
Product Concept & Architecture
The ESP32-C3 reads a suite of sensors: BME280 (T/H/P), SPS30 (PM), rain gauge (tipping bucket), and 3-cup anemometer (Hall-effect). A 2.8-inch TFT display shows current conditions.
Engineering Solution
A TinyML regression model (20KB, decision tree) on the ESP32-C3 learns the local microclimate by correlating sensor readings with the previous 7 days of forecast vs. actual data. The prediction improves over time as the model retrains nightly.
Result
85% 12-hour local forecast accuracy. Assembly time <20 minutes. Used in 500+ school STEM programs.
