Making STEM tangible with AllSkyKamera
From sky camera to data analysis: we blend astronomy, physics, programming and 3D printing into practice-oriented learning paths.
- ★ Hands-on: real data, real projects.
- ★ Interdisciplinary: astronomy, sensing, coding & 3D printing.
- ★ Transferable to classes, clubs and makerspaces.
AllSkyKamera as a learning platform
STEM bundles future-proof skills. With AllSkyKamera, we connect observing the night sky with data collection, coding and digital fabrication.
Learners work with real hardware (Raspberry Pi, sensors), analyze time series (temperature, humidity, sky brightness) and build visualizations (keograms, star trails).
The result: student-owned projects that foster scientific thinking, teamwork and problem solving.
All materials are modular and adaptable.
