WhaleFest24
Sarvesh gives an overview of his experience at WhaleFest24 at Sitka, Alaska.
Last month, I participated in WhaleFest’24 in Sitka, Alaska. It was an eye-opening and rewarding experience!
My colleague, Casey, and I presented our research project, WeatherChimes - an IoT microcontroller package that collects environmental and climate data - at the WhaleFest Science Symposium. I interacted with many community members, researchers, and high school students to share this exciting technology.
I also assisted Dr. Chet Udell with a workshop exploring how to perform sonification on environmental data, transforming it into sound to uncover patterns and correlations. Hearing data come to life was a transformative experience for everyone involved.
I am grateful to Dr. Chet Udell and the OPEnS Lab at Oregon State University, which makes opportunities like this possible.
