Aiming to make scientific endeavors an easy possibility for anyone, the PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules are new devices from the technology brand that enable a bevy of different uses.

Starting with the PocketLab Voyager, the sensor is designed to be easy enough for a 4th grade student to use, and will measure light, motion, magnetic field and weather using an external probe. This allows [different science experiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/science-activity-kits) to be performed, while capturing a number of different data points that would be otherwise difficult to do.

The PocketLab Weather is intended to measure [light, humidity, barometric pressure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-temperature-and-humidity-monitor-3-mini), dew point and the heat index. This can also be used with a number of different experiments that take place in and outside of the classroom.

The PocketLab Voyager and Weather sensor modules are currently being funded on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oko-sensor).
