This paper describes a collaborative experience to empower organized communities to produce, curate and disseminate environmental data. A particular emphasis is done on the description of open hardware & software architecture and the processes of commissioning of the low cost Arduino-Raspberry-Pi weather station which measures: atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, and illuminance/irradiance. The idea is to encourage more people to replicate this open-science initiative. We have started this experience training students & teachers from seven mid secondary schools through a syllabus of 12 two-hours lectures with a web-based support which exposes them to basic concepts and practices of Citizen Science and Open Data Science.
