Skill Building for Innovation students present prototypes
Skill Building for Innovation students presented final prototypes to National Park Service staff and received feedback with offers for future internships!
Turdus migratorius: the scientific name of the American Robin, as identified by a smart birdhouse designed by Skill Building for Innovation students. They also designed a water wheel and foldable collection device to monitor and record stream water flow.
These projects were in response to challenges set forth by staff members from the National Park Service’s Northeast Temperate Network who were looking for better ways to gather and analyze data from the variety of natural resources that they monitor across eleven national parks n the Northeast. To culminate a semester-long project, students presented final prototypes to NPS staff and received feedback and offers for future internships! (Take a peek at an in-progress website for Spybird.)
