Smart Hydroponics Kit
Product details
The Smart Hydroponics Kit is a micro:bit powered automated system for growing real plants and vegetables in the classroom. Equipped with a variety of sensors and robotic devices, the Hydroponics system is capable of regulating water levels, light cycles, and testing for pH levels. The plug & play robotic components make it easy to customize the growing system to suit your needs. Plus, with a little code, the possibilities of the growing setup are endless.
Teach plant automation through coding, real-time data collection, hands-on projects, and pathways to careers in smart agriculture.
