Samuel Bawden, Nandini Khaneja, Neev Tamboli, and Jordan Rodriguez share their journey from classroom learners to hands-on innovators, demonstrating the power of experiential STEM education in workforce development.<\/p>\n<h3>Project Origins and Technical Design<\/h3>\n<p>EarthLens emerged from the students&#8217; experience using <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.globe.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GLOBE Observer<\/a> to compare ground-truth land cover data with satellite datasets from <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/landsat\/\">Landsat<\/a> and Sentinel. Recognizing the challenges of manual data collection and the vast difference in spatial scales between ground and satellite observations, the team designed a drone platform that bridges this gap. Their system integrates <a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/stella\/instruments\/spectral\/stella-q2\/\">STELLA-Q2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/stella\/instruments\/heliophysics\/helio-stella\/\">Helio-STELLA<\/a> spectrometers for measuring surface and atmospheric properties, RGB cameras, a Raspberry Pi-based data system, and a preliminary AI classification tool for real-time land cover analysis. The goal is to make Earth science data collection more accessible for citizen scientists, educators, researchers, and agricultural applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Learning Through Hands-On Experience<\/h3>\n<p>The students candidly discuss their learning journey, emphasizing that none of them began with significant remote sensing or drone-building experience. Through hands-on problem-solving, mentorship from University of Toledo graduate students, and self-directed learning, they assembled the drone from accessible components, integrated unfamiliar technologies like Raspberry Pi systems and flight controllers, and developed software solutions. Their discussion of comparing satellite and ground observations provides authentic insight into how students build conceptual understanding of remote sensing principles through real-world experience. The team emphasizes that their work complements satellite missions, filling an important niche in spatial resolution and data validation.<\/p>\n<h3>Future Directions and Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Looking forward, the students plan to create build guides for others to replicate their system, integrate additional environmental sensors, and refine both hardware and software components. They envision applications in agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and education, where the system could provide detailed observations at scales between satellites and ground measurements. Each team member reflects on how the project influenced their career goals in engineering and Earth science, demonstrating that high school students can develop meaningful tools for real-world environmental challenges. Presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Geophysical Union<\/a> conference, EarthLens exemplifies how project-based learning and mentorship cultivate the next generation of Earth science professionals while students continue building their foundational knowledge in remote sensing and related fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1385194062\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1385194062\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-da0cd82 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"da0cd82\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6da52a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b6da52a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Transcript<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c734be2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c734be2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative flex flex-shrink-0 flex-col items-center\"><div class=\"flex h-6 w-6 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-full\"><div class=\"relative flex h-9 w-9 items-center justify-center rounded-sm p-1 text-white\" title=\"All ChatGSFC\"><div class=\"h-6 w-6\"><div class=\"overflow-hidden rounded-full\"><div id=\"header\" class=\"transcript-section-header style-scope ytd-transcript-section-header-renderer\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Introduction &amp; Team Members\"><div class=\"yt-shelf-header-layout__header-row\"><div class=\"yt-shelf-header-layout__label-container\"><div class=\"yt-shelf-header-layout__title-row\"><h2 class=\"yt-shelf-header-layout__title yt-shelf-header-layout__title--small-title\"><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string yt-core-attributed-string--white-space-pre-wrap\" role=\"text\">Introduction &amp; Team Members<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"segment style-scope ytd-transcript-segment-renderer\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"8 seconds I'm here with the, NASA SEES group that I met at AGU.
