Finding Materials

9/4/18

As the team continues to prepare for our time in Venice, we have begun to look into which hydroponic systems we will be prototyping while in Venice. The team has been researching various different systems and talking to local experts. We called a hydroponic farm supplier company called ZipGrow which makes custom systems. ZipGrow makes a variety of industrial, local, and educational farms; they are able ship internationally and help with setup and system choice. This can be helpful since they are experts in the hydroponic fields and may be able to give us valuable advice on how to set up a system in a bell tower.

The team is looking forward to continuing research to come to a conclusion on which system to purchase. We will also be working on editing our project proposal so it is ready for the end of the term.
