About the project
Ribbit Network believes that by creating tangible educational experiences related to climate, hardware, engineering, and STEAM, we can inspire individuals to start taking action in support of those areas.
Ribbit Network inspires students, teachers, makers, companies and scientists to take direct action by creating tangible experiential learning opportunities by building a sensor and contributing to an open-source globally-distributed climate observation network.
We partner with educators, corporates etc to engage their employees and students through workshops that teach climate science, sensor building and the importance of data in decision making for climate.
Our “Frogs” are small, open-source sensors that you can buy or build on your own, and deploy at your home. The Frog sensors measure the amount of CO2 in the air using a tiny internal laser.
Citizen scientists, corporations, professional researchers, and governments identify deployment locations and work with the local community to deploy Frog sensors.
Real-time CO2 observations from Frog sensors connected to the Ribbit Network are recorded in a database. This data is publicly accessible and will inform research, monitoring, policies, and actions to address GHG emissions.
