Team Rocket

Team Rocket consists of three computer engineers, Andrew, Jennifer,and Emily. We are mentored by Kim and are working towards creating a weatherbox.

Due to the high usage of electricity on campus there is a need to find alternative sources of energy. A possible solution to this problem would be the addition of solar panels around campus. This project will create a weatherbox that will measure and analyze various types of data from around campus, so that we can determine ideal placements for these panels.
