Buy a Zigbee module and implement whatever physical layer it needs. 
Freescale/NXP probably offers some. Texas Instruments may also.

Any particular reason for using Zigbee? Bluetooth would probably be 
easier to find modules for and probably has better support on the PC end.

As this is a Student board perhaps that's a requirement of a college 
project or similar. Plenty of papers on the net on doing this for 
specific data items e.g.

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/332/1/012007/meta

plenty of simple modules that use for example the SPI interface e.g.

which is simple to implement, but that board already has lots of 
connectivity. Why complicate things by add ZigBee
