| Abstract: | Many introductory courses in CS/IS are modular by nature. This allows for multiple topics to be introduced to beginning students and to serve as a springboard to higher-level material in later courses. Unfortunately, in attempting to fit many topics in, connections between topics or a cohesive theme can be difficult to establish or maintain. The introduction of a final, multifaceted, project that incorporates the individual topics and concepts of the course can serve as the catalyst enabling the whole to gel within the nascent CS/IS student. The purpose of this paper is to present such a culminating project that is flexible in the amount of topics included, and difficulty level -- a mini weather station Raspberry Pi project.
