Detailed Project Description
Global warming has become a serious issue. In this course, we design a series of lessons about applying a High-Altitude Balloon (HAB) on a local carbon dioxide observation project. The HAB system was composed of three main parts:
. Lifting part: which including Totex balloon& helium.
2. The observing part: was a homemade Radiosonde, including DHT-22 (temperature& humidity sensor), MQ-135 (CO& CO2 sensor), Arduino UNO, and Raspberry Pi 4.
3. The recycle system: Using an old Smartphone with locating application.
By using the Low-cost equipment above, students could take action in atmospheric observing to concern the environment of the local community. After releasing the HAB, we can predict the final location of HAB through predicting formula so that students can plan how to recycle the HAB in a particular area.

Hackathon Journey
The count library is responsible for all data estimation, including the time and speed required for lift-off. The detailed derivation process is as shown on (page.4-5).
The weather library uses the crawler program to capture the ground surface temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and other information, and performs the conversion of wind speed units, and returns the obtained results to the main program. The found library analyzes the wind speeds obtained and matches the photos and place names .of the appropriate predicted locations.
