This week, 2019 Hackaday prize winner and 2022 Hackaday Prize Judge, Shah Selbe is here! Shah is the founder of Conservify and Managing Director at FieldKit, and a former resident here at DesignLab. It's amazing to see how far he's come. With his background in engineering and conservation, Shah works with developing countries and communities to come up with Open Source solutions for their biggest environmental problems. Recently, Shah's been living the dream! National Geographic hired him and his company, Conservify, to go on expeditions with scientists and conservationists. There they've been monitoring water in the Amazon Forest, watching the behaviorisms of lowland gorillas in Congo, and so much more. Throughout this episode, Shah breaks down how open source technology is a key component for environmental and wildlife conservation and how Conserverify and FieldKit are adding to these conservation efforts. With that being said, enjoy the episode! You can follow @Supplyframe and @Hackaday on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter, and @SupplyframeDesignLab on Instagram and Twitter.

Shah Selbe is a conservationist, engineer, explorer, and entrepreneur developing technology-based solutions to solve some of the planet’s biggest conservation challenges. A satellite propulsions engineer by training, Shah’s low-cost, often open-source solutions have been implemented in some of the harshest environments here on Earth, including oceans, deserts, glaciers and rainforests. His technologies have monitored species ranging from Sri-Lankan blue whales to Congo’s lowland gorillas. In this episode of Create the Future, Shah explains his passion for ‘wild engineering’, exploring, and all the ways in which GPS trackers, drones, camera traps, sensors, satellites, and open-source solutions can help conserve threatened species, populations, and environments.

Maya speaks with Shah Selbe, an engineer with 10 years of experience in spacecraft propulsion engineering who started his own non-profit organization in order to answer the question ‘how can technology play a bigger role in conservation?'. During this episode of the Conservation Cast, Maya spoke with Shah about the origin of Conservify, and the issues in conservation which Shah aimed to address with the creation of open-source field kits. The two discussed the significance of a Field Kit's ability to provide a platform which allows people to monitor their environment, and not only visualize the collected data, but give the ability to share said data with others. Shah shared his experience as a National Geographic Explorer and explained how it led to his creation of one of the only non-profit tech labs in the world. Additionally, Shah answered viewer's questions such as his ideas for future advancements to the Field Kit, and some of his favorite stories from people's usage of Field Kits. Conservify Maya's community raised $2207.77 for Conservify, a non-profit organization that seeks to empower conservationists and communities by lowering the barriers to entry for effective conservation. Conservify provides platforms, apps, and connected devices in order to build an open conservation community within conservation technology.
This is a republication of a Solve For Kids Podcast. Shah Selbe is a busy guy. He is a Rocket Scientist, Conservation Technologist and a National Geographic Explorer! He is on the Solve It For Kids Podcast to tell us how he created his own job and, more importantly, let us know how technology can help us conserve the planet!
In this episode of the podcast, I'm speaking with Shah Selbe - a Conservation Technologist. We get technical with conservation engineer Shah Selbe and Fieldkit, his project to make low-cost, connected sensors you can use anywhere in the world (except maybe a boiling river in the Amazon). Also mentioned: Christine Liu's Art about Art & Science, DAT protocols, Los Angeles Unified School District's Data Science curricula.

Shah Selbe is a rocket scientist who put his engineering skills into building a lab that uses open-source technologies to empower local communities to solve conservation challenges. His team has been deploying technologies like drones, sensor networks, smartphone apps, and acoustic buoys to monitor protected areas, wildlife, and biodiversity. But their big news is the launch of the open-source hardware and online platform FieldKit that anyone can use to deploy a local sensing network and mesh that with remote sensing data for real-time ecosystem monitoring: he joins us to discuss its potential plus the conservation tech he’s currently most excited about.

Turtles have been around since the days of the dinosaurs, but are they about to follow them into extinction? Conservation scientist Kim Williams-Guillén is doing her best to prevent that. In this episode of ‘Fixed That For You’ we combine 'Breaking Bad,' a Hollywood special effects expert, and a 3D printer to track down poachers on remote tropical beaches. 'Fixed That For You' is an original podcast from Segment. For more on the series go to fixedthatforyou.com. Take a look at National Geographic’s short video to learn more about sea turtles. Sea Turtle Conservancy is the oldest organization in the world working towards saving sea turtles through research, advocacy, and education. Kim Williams-Guillén is a conservation scientist at Paso Pacifíco, an American environmental group working in Nicaragua. Have a project that’s geared towards conservation technologies?

What happens when you take a Boeing-grade rocket scientist and send him all over the planet with National Geographic? You birth an entirely new industry. Shah Selbe is one of the key pioneers of Conservation Tech, a field that combines social media, technology, science and social psychology to solve the Earth's problem. As a NatGeo Explorer, he is one of few selected to go on MacGyver-like missions in remote areas most affected by things like climate change, poaching, illegal fishing, drilling, extinction, and sometimes mother nature herself. Along the way, he has coined the phrase, "Internet of Earth Things," highlighting the fact that next evolution of digital/social connectivity is being connected to the planet. On Innovation Crush, Shah discusses the hurdles of being a young scientist among is stayed peers, his transition from rocket to earth science, his desire to work with VC's, and and that one time he used a FedEx strategy to solve a fishing problem.
