With the active and physical presence of all project partners (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, University College of Teacher Education Vienna, Doukas School, Universidad Pompeu Fabra and Open University of Cyprus).
Partners discussed the progress of all project outputs and focused on the upcoming teacher training event, scheduled for June 2022 in Wien, and the forthcoming start of the pilots in the schools.
The presentation of the TEASPILS project Spike, the “box” with all the IoT sensors that will be used to monitor the well-being of plants and the learning spaces the inhabited. In order to make it a sustainable and reproduceable tool, the Spike has to have its own cable-less power supply and network connectivity. A solar panel was fitted into the roof which is meant to recharge continuously. A separate module provides measurement feedback on CO2 levels, light, humidity or temperature on the spot. Additionally, partners at the University Pompeu Fabra are working on a web-based visualisation platform that allows teachers to work with groups of students when analysing and learning about environmental conditions and states.
