PHILIPSBURG:--- Orco Bank in Sint Maarten had the privilege of supporting a group of students, following the Pre-University Program at Milton Peters College, to build a Weather Station.
The students, with the subject in Information Technology, will build a Weather Station and a web application in collaboration with Layola Polytechnic Institute in the Dominican Republic. The Weather Station will be assembled and placed in different locations on the island. The data collected will be shared with the Meteorology Department as a way to give back to the community of St. Maarten.
The main goal of this project is to produce error-free weather stations displayed on a practical website that depicts the weather of Sint Maarten (and hopefully other islands in the future).
Orco Bank is pleased to have contributed, as one of the co-sponsors, towards the success of this project and will continue making efforts to move closer to the community of St. Maarten!
Orco Bank was founded in 1986 and offers a complete personal and commercial banking package with operations in Curaçao, Bonaire, and Sint Maarten.
