Dive into the world of DIY electronics with our hands-on workshop. We're making wireless weather stations using the Raspberry Pi Pico W, and you're invited to join us! This session is designed for those with an interest in electronics and data collection, welcoming participants of all levels. What We're Doing: - Assembling a wireless weather station that measures temperature, humidity, and more. Who Should Join: - While this workshop is geared towards those with some experience, we welcome anyone eager to learn. Our team will be there to help every step of the way. What You'll Achieve: - By the end of our session, you'll have your own working weather station, capable of connecting to your laptop for data analysis. Connectivity: - We'll guide you through connecting your station to a laptop, making it easy to keep tabs on the weather conditions around you. If you're curious about technology or just looking for a fun project, this workshop is a great way to get hands-on experience with building and programming. Come learn, create, and connect with others who share your interests.

The pervasive presence of GPS technology has profoundly altered various aspects of our society. This talk on Global Positioning System (GPS) is the second in a two-part series, hosted by the Long Island Section's Consultants Network. Satellite navigation systems emerged at the end of the 20th century. The first was the US version known as the Global Positioning System (GPS) which greatly improved the range and accuracy of a position fix when compared to previous navigation systems. In Part 1 of this two part series, we learned how GPS works. In Part 2, we will look at various GPS applications. In this lecture, specific uses of the system will be discussed such as GPS in agriculture, maritime port navigation and airport landing systems. Its use in cell phone navigation known as Assisted GPS will also be discussed. The lecture will end with a description of a possible Galactic Positioning System that would use a GPS-like system for navigation in interstellar space.
