WeatherSTEM

WeatherSTEM is a web, mobile, and social media platform driven by data and images from an extensive network of weather stations and cameras. The platform is augmented by a worldwide data model from partners including IBM and used for emergency management, civic/social engagement, scientific research, and athletics.

History of WeatherSTEM:

The initial launch of WeatherSTEM in 2014 began with an educational focus. Weather stations were located at schools that would broadcast conditions to a webpage and incorporate educational materials. In addition to the stations, cameras were added to incorporate the visual aspects of weather and notification features were added for safety.

Shortly after WeatherSTEM’s initial launch the systems’ benefits gained interest from other markets. Athletics personnel and corporations use lightning and heat monitoring for player and personnel safety while agricultural corporations and farms use precise monitoring for better production. Over the years WeatherSTEM expanded their scope to focus on both education and safety features to serve clients such as schools, emergency management, corporations, and athletic venues.

The app includes the option to add favorite stations to a dashboard for quick viewing of real-time conditions and camera views. Lightning information and current severe weather alerts are prominently displayed.
