Masscue 2018 Change Team
The 2018 Change Team presented their project "Green Programming: Developing A Vision For Sustainable Agriculture With Computing Systems" at the Masscue 2018 Technology Conference. Using Raspberry Pi technology, programming skills and a range of sensors to measure horticulturally significant factors, students talked about the value and benefits of gardening while learning about sustainability issues, programming, single board computing systems and global ecology. North Reading High School students demonstrated Raspberry Pi sensors, python commands and handed out an infographic containing Raspberry Pi common commands along with information on 





Michael Tyrrell explaining Python Programming to an attendee at the Masscue Conference.


We were using a microcomputer platform, (Raspberry Pi) practicing IT skills and sensors to support measuring the conditions of indoor gardening:

- Raspberry Pi Microcomputer
- DHT11 heat/humidity sensor
- Soil Moisture sensor
- Photoresistor
- Raspberry Pi Programming Commands


CoderZ

Kathy Dasho presented CoderZ: An Update 2018 along with Graham Celine of Intellitek. Kathy talked about using the new version "Crash Course" with her high school class and their results and collaborations, while Graham highlighted new updates and plans for the product.
