Farm of the Future: smart mini-farm STEM project
STEM project in engineering, biology and programming: 3D printing mini-farm components and assembling an automated hydroponic system with sensor-based control.
The educational project “Farm of the Future” combines 3D printing, electronics and agrobiotechnology: students print structural elements of a mini-farm, assemble control electronics with sensors, program a touch interface and launch a hydroponic cycle for growing leafy crops with automatic environmental control. Suitable for specialized engineering and STEM classes 8–11, technology parks and extracurricular education centres, as well as colleges and universities in the fields of robotics, mechatronics and agro-IT.
