Since 2013, the #HackadayPrize has challenged #engineers, #designers, & #hackers to raise the bar of open source #hardware. In this series, majenta strongheart revisits past winners to see how their projects have progressed. Here's 2019 Winner: FieldKit by Conservify👇🦾

This whole thread from Shah Selbe helps paint a picture of the struggles we've been dealing with trying to get FieldKit hardware out in the world. We are so beyond grateful for the patience and understanding from our community over the past two years. 🧵

ICYMI: Shah Selbe joined XPRIZE, Peter Houlihan, @DrSusanCheyne, and Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ on a @TwitterSpaces about the intersection of technology and rainforest conservation. Listen to the recording here: x.com/i/spaces/1djxX…

Absolute carnage ☠

For #WorldOceansDay 🌊 we're sharing a preview of a project our team is currently working on: FieldKit Underwater, a fully submersible version of FieldKit for use in marine and other underwater environments. (1/3)

Our team has been testing prototypes and tweaking designs in order to create a FieldKit station that can be submerged in oceans to aquifers and anywhere else you might want to use an underwater sensing tool. (2/3)

Once we've perfected the design and it's ready for sale, we would love to see FieldKit Underwater used in oceans across the planet (plus anywhere else you might need it). Where would you most like to use FieldKit Underwater? (3/3)

“Don’t build a hardware product during a pandemic.” - Shah Selbe The conservation technologist’s plan to unveil his new environmental sensor platform FieldKit.org nearly went totally awry because of COVID-19 & the subsequent supply chain challenges: bit.ly/3pMnsmD

What is the Internet of Animals? @Animaltracking and I see it as an emerging convergence of linked #BigData + #LiveData + Automated #Analytics and #AI. A powerful tool for science and conservation!
