Being in a Nigerian university, depending on what state you school sometimes means that your education falls short in terms of the problems we are exposed to and the topics we explore in class.
To fill this gap we formed NARSDA, a small group primarily focused on astronomy based research, this semester we decided to take our heads out of the cloud and focus on some local problems facing your school.
In this session we will discuss how we built an edge device to monitor atmospheric conditions in our school, how we leveraged Prometheus, grafana and MQTT to collect and generate meaningful insights from the data and finally how we plan on using the data to cut down emissions and possibly save an endangered bird native to our local.
