The work continues — and it’s picking up speed.
Over the past days, we’ve been hard at work developing our sensor devices. The hardware team successfully integrated BME sensors (for temperature, humidity, and air pressure) and GPS modules. We’re now entering a crucial phase: testing the prototypes in real-world conditions.
In parallel, our software and infrastructure teams are developing the visualization platform that brings all this data to life:

The system is designed to display live sensor data on a map, allowing us to monitor environmental metrics and track sensor locations in real time. From cloud infrastructure to frontend dashboards, everything is being built from the ground up — by the same hands that are soldering boards and mounting devices.
Today, I’m hoping to mount one of our GPS devices on a boda (motorbike taxi) and test how our platform handles movement and updates. A simple experiment, but a symbolic one — it brings our entire end-to-end system into play: hardware, connectivity, and software.
And while the tests are running, the knowledge transfer continues. Between local students, international teams, and educators, ideas are being exchanged constantly. That’s just as important as the tech itself.
We’re building something real here — sensor by sensor, map point by map point.
Stay tuned!
