We shared in-person our space botany research on spectral combinations and three STEM projects.
We presented how NASA space programs, GBE and HUNCH, leverage the Next Gen STEM skills through hands-on projects; and presented our new botanical research findings and Stress Detection System Prototype.
We discussed virtually our ISS-simulated experiments on using different fertilizer treatments to attain optimum growth of Extra Dwarf Pak Choi on the ISS in long-term space missions.
We shared virtually our ISS-simulated experiments on four growing different NASA cultivators with limited water resources.
