Here’s a student who wanted to know more about CO2 emissions. Was there a higher concentration at different altitudes? Was it different in rural versus urban settings?

So he used a drone and a raspberry pi fitted with a detector to find out. 

I won’t spoil the results, but will tell you he learned something along the way. 

Curiosity and a little effort made for an interesting experiment that was well thought out and he did a good job of conducting it.
