The innovative School WeatherNet(tm) concept developed by Automated Weather Source (AWS) combines five separate, but interrelated components. Separately, each component of the AWS concept is fundamentally strong. When integrated, these components create an exceptional, long term educational and community outreach program that benefits all. To initiate the School WeatherNet(tm) in a stations DMA, a number of AWS SchoolNet Weather Stations are purchased and donated to selected schools. Each AWS system is a fully automated weather observation station specifically designed for broadcast and educational use. The AWS system automatically measures, records and displays temperature, humidity, winds, barometric pressure, precipitation, and light. The system includes interactive software for modem and Internet communications and comprehensive, teacher developed curriculum for all levels of education.
Participating schools receive state-of-the-art AWS technology that is designed for hands-on, interdisciplinary curriculum. The AWS system utilizes the universally accepted topic of weather "as a window" to math and science education. AWS' interactive educational software allows students and teachers to collect and display real time and historical weather data from 1200+ schools worldwide.
The Weather team for your TV station will have access to real time, up-to-the-second weather conditions from every school WeatherNet site via computer. This gives Your Station the EXCLUSIVE ability to show viewers "LIVE", "LOCAL" weather conditions from community and neighborhood schools throughout each DMA using AWS' True Insta Weather graphics.
TV broadcast exposure heightens the interest and enthusiasm of all involved. After interacting with the AWS system in the classroom during the day students, teachers, parents and local communities will tune to Your station to see real time weather conditions from their schools and local communities.
The School WeatherNet(tm) program offer broadcasters excellent promotion and sponsorship opportunities that will lead to heightened visibility and significant, new sales revenues. The School WeatherNet(tm) program ideally suits corporate sponsors that are seeking long term image enhancement and name recognition. Sponsors can benefit from the exposure in schools as well as on the air promotions, logo impressions and mentions during every weathercast, cut-in and station ID.
