LoRaWAN in the classroom
summary
Classroom project uses The Things Network / The Things Stack LoRaWAN with a school gateway and ~60 sensor boxes (temperature, pressure, TPH, PM, CO2, light, UV, sound, GPS). Students record real anomalies — a 7:30 pressure spike from a cow‑milking compressor and PM differences under greenery versus paved neighborhoods — and run boxes at 2,000 m. Hardware is open source with new RadioLib LoRa drivers, one box lasts ~1 month versus student build 2–3 days, municipality funds €3,000.
