Abstract: SmartWeather is a driver project intended to integrate the multidisciplinary knowledge target to scientific and technical high schools, so that a systemic approach to learning can be applied. The project is based on a three-layer cultural model, with physics at the top as a foundation for measurements and observation, followed by other scientific and technical disciplines that develop methods and, ultimately, humanistic and linguistic disciplines to integrate technical and scientific knowledge. SmartWeather is a web-based meteorological station that uses measurement and observation information for short-time weather forecasting with a language-reasoning model to make forecast decisions. The project ran for 4 months, from January to April 2014, a prototype of the weather station has been released and presented at a special initiative (UniMi-Under18) promoted by the Università degli Studi di Milano on May 2014, where the students experienced the presentation of the project results to public.
