Campus weather station promotes science in schools

The campus weather station is a convenient tool for schools to monitor the weather, providing real-time information on temperature, humidity and wind speed. It helps students to learn weather knowledge and also facilitates schools to arrange outdoor activities. It is simple to operate and easy to manage.

FT-XQ3 is a weather monitoring device produced by Fengtu Technology, which is capable of monitoring a variety of weather parameters, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, etc., and providing real-time weather data for school campuses or other places. With a compact design, this weather station is easy to install and maintain, making it suitable for educational and environmental monitoring purposes. By providing accurate weather information, the FT-XQ3 helps schools teach science, plan outdoor activities and enhance students' interest in meteorology.

Although meteorology has been part of the geography curriculum since it was established in Chinese primary and secondary schools, students usually fail to study this field systematically. One meteorological expert believes that if children are exposed to comprehensive meteorological education at primary and secondary school levels, their awareness and ability in disaster prevention and mitigation will be significantly enhanced. Therefore, it is particularly important to promote the popularisation of meteorological science into the primary and secondary education system and to popularise meteorological knowledge among children.

The Plan for the Development of Popularisation of Meteorological Science (2019-2025) aims to promote popularisation of meteorological science in schools. The plan advocates the establishment of campus weather stations in primary and secondary schools as part of meteorological education. Meanwhile, the plan encourages innovative ways to popularise meteorological knowledge through organising meteorological science activities such as campus carnivals, knowledge competitions, children's weather broadcasting and disaster reduction science competitions.

The Campus Weather Station provided by Fengtu Technology is an important tool for the education sector to realise popular science education on campus. It can continuously monitor meteorological data such as wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, radiation and barometric pressure on campus, and upload such information to the cloud platform in real time for easy management and analysis.
