The Rainflower
A flower-shaped rain collector, and the pilot this whole programme is named after. Ethan Kabir built the first one in Rocklin, California, during 11th grade. Its hardware, software and design are being open-sourced so Rainflower teams anywhere can build it, deploy it, monitor it and make it better.
Build Status
The build log: progress updates from the team as the Rainflower is built, tested and improved.
See the build status → 🌸3D Model
Turn the Rainflower around, look inside, and see how each part fits together before you build one.
Open the 3D model → 🌧️Simulator
Pick a city, set the leaf size and angle and how many devices you deploy, and watch the daily and monthly water yield change in real time.

Pilots are built by teams. Read the build status to see what's ready, then ask Thunder or your coordinator how your team can take part.
