Philadelphia Water, students and civic hackers make high tech, low cost, real time sensors for schoolyard gardens.

STEM education leads to real-world solutions. Tech developed with @MarianaBracetti students in 2016 re-appears at the @FairmountWW mussel hatchery to monitor water level and temperature in the fish tank in real time. @PhillyH2O @particle @blynk_app

Every day is Science Friday! @PhillyH2O working with students to build a lysimeter (fancy word for a scale) for @JeffersonUniv green roof. @Arduino @sparkfun

We're a 2018 #SustainPHL nominee! Join us on 8/16 at WHYY to celebrate Philly's sustainability efforts: https://t.co/LRrlraYRXl

Math teacher Amit and his students from @Vaux_BPHS use #Arduino to find out how much power they can generate from solar panels. Environmental tech support from @PhillyH2O because we ❤️ Philly schools and hands-on STEM learning!

Some smart students at @PennAlexander made a smart rain barrel that emails you when it's full and time to empty it. Best of luck to this group at @FIRSTweets competition in Detroit later this month! @PhillyH2O @PHSgardening Read more: https://t.co/ANr65Y8qPH

Why do we use salt to melt ice on sidewalks and roads? And how does it affect our rivers and streams? @phillyh2o and students at McCall Elementary find out the answers! @PHLschools

Hey @Eagles & @Patriots fans: stay tuned, we’re about to launch a #WaterBowl brawl with @BOSTON_WATER!The Birds might be #underdogs, but we think Philly dominates when it comes to water! Follow along today through #SBLII #FlyPhillyFly #FlyPhillyFly #Eagles #DrinkTapPHL

[Philadelphia Water @PhillyH2O]

Hey @BOSTON_WATER why do you hate on @Eagles? #DYK the OG patriots met in Philly in 1782 to officially adopt #eagles as USA's national symbol? Our 7 watersheds are home to bald eagles, too, including a nest at @USFW #JohnHeinzNWR. #FlyEaglesFly #WaterBowl https://t.co/fRE75pQuyk

Yo @BOSTON_WATER: @NACWA recently ranked Philly's 3 Water Pollution Control Plants "Platinum”! Platinum = perfect federal compliance 5+ years in a row, BTW. #FlyEaglesFly #FlyPhillyFly #WaterBowl #CleanWatersPHL #waterquality #Philly

STEM students from @MarianaBracetti dropping some submersible science in Trenton! Thanks @DRBC1961 for inviting us to talk about the underwater rover built and tested with @PhillyH2O https://t.co/uwv1kFVtRu

[greenSTEM Network @greenSTEMphilly]

Taking the rover for a dip in the Schuylkill @ Fairmount Water Works https://t.co/zsKGiaVKfV

Environmental tech workshop with STEM scholars yesterday - they already knew their way around a breadboard! @TheFranklin @PhillyH2O

[Philadelphia Water @PhillyH2O]

-@MarianaBracetti students braved the heat at #Philly's #TaconyCreek & launched a #SubmarineDrone built with our @greenSTEMphilly engineers:

[greenSTEM Network @greenSTEMphilly]

Amazing STEM students from @MarianaBracetti are building an underwater drone to explore the Schuylkill River! @PhillyH2O @FairmountWW

[greenSTEM Network @greenSTEMphilly]

Students @icscharter learn how @phillyh2o uses sensors and technology to help the environment - then built nightlight circuits w/ Arduino.

[greenSTEM Network @greenSTEMphilly]

Sensors working overtime @TheFranklin with @SlaBeeber thanks to solar panels! https://t.co/RF4A5xkGtI
