Saving the World (Literally) with Ruby on Rails
summary
Two thirds of Virginia hives have died and about 35% of managed hives collapse, so a field system gets built to monitor temperature, humidity and weight with raspberry pi + rails hardware and sensors, powered by solar panels that run seven to nine days without sun. Initial kit costs about $200, a crowd campaign raises $12,000 for a 12-student class, and a dashing dashboard plus tweeting proves the setup works by driving outreach, data collection and new funding.
