Automated Energy Efficient Sensory and Response Systems with Micro;bits
Students will be coding Microbits to control lighting and watering and potentially environmental monitoring as well. The goal is to find a more efficient and energy wise methods of growing plants for a colony on the Moon or Mars. This is an integral part of the project and will involve teaching the kids all about the Engineering Design Process while they solve real-world problems that will help us to develop a viable colony.
