Science Makers: Wildlife and conservation technologies

http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/1/9/4/600_447924980.jpeg

We'll be delving into making open source and low-cost technologies for wildlife and conservation this month at Science Makers - including building our own bat detectors and venturing into the wilds to test them out (at least as far as the banks of the Cam).

12:30 - Presentations and demos

• Tony Naggs on bat detection

• Mayke de Freitas Santos on drones for multispectral imaging

• Arik Kershenbaum on building (and maintaining) animal acoustic monitoring devices

• more TBC

13:30 - Pizza (£4 suggested donation)

14:30 - Making!

We’ll be soldering and building bat detector boards

(extra soldering irons welcome if you have one you can bring!), or you can work on your own project if you prefer.

17:30 - Bat detecting and to the pub (sunset is at 19:30)
