FieldKit Wins Grand Prize at Hackaday 2019 | Voltaic Systems Blog

FieldKit, a core project of Conservify, was recently awarded the Grand Prize of the 2019 Hackaday Prize. Conservify works to build and develop tools and technologies that make it easy for communities to implement effective conservation practices. The FieldKit system was originally developed after the team’s work in Botswana, Angola, and Namibia left them struggling to find good quality open source tools that meet the needs of their field research. This standardized, open-source software and hardware platform allows for local agencies, activists, schools and communities to easily collect and share data throughout their own projects.

Designed as a complete system, FieldKit’s team thought of everything to make to this system user-friendly from deployment to data collection and exporting. The team has also integrated our high performance 5.5 Watt ETFE Solar Panel for a reliable, rugged power solution in the field.
