Caribbean aircraft-data STEM challenge
Build something useful for the Caribbean with real aircraft data: an application, analysis, classroom experiment, or passive community receiver.
The same project can teach APIs, streaming systems, geospatial analysis, data engineering, radio electronics, and responsible interpretation of incomplete crowdsourced observations.
Project ideas
- Design an aviation dashboard for an island or airport.
- Analyze regional connectivity, tourism, or disaster logistics.
- Find observation gaps without treating missing data as proof of no aircraft.
- Build and document a receiver that improves the shared regional dataset.
Who can use this?
Caribbean STEM Olympiad teams, coding clubs, robotics and electronics groups, university capstones, hackathons, and GIS classrooms.
No specialized aviation background is required. Start with the REST API or sample dataset; add radio hardware only if it fits the group.
Ready-to-use resources
Responsible use
ADSBiq contains crowdsourced radio observations. Missing observations do not prove that no aircraft was present. Do not use the service for safety-of-life, navigation, enforcement, or operational separation.
ADSBiq is a community-powered project of Sky Power Services LLC. The data sample is licensed ODbL-1.0.
