Global goals
The project is an early warning system with micro:bit that detects earthquakes, floods, and high temperatures in a community. The main micro:bit sends alerts by radio to a control center, where another micro:bit and a computer display messages, sounds, and real-time graphics. Its purpose is to prevent risks and protect people from natural disasters through the use of technology and programming.
We were inspired by the idea of protecting our community and people from natural disasters and using technology to create alerts that can truly help people. We were also motivated to learn programming, work as a team, and experiment with micro:bit sensors, seeing how our ideas turned into a functional system.
