Data Collection with High-Altitude Balloons

Design and build a high‑altitude balloon with SparkFun Electronics. This engaging project introduces tools for real‑world science and data collection. We will build a weather balloon, add instrumentation, and launch it (tethered, for safety, of course) in Boston to characterize temperature, humidity, and pressure as a function of height.
