Fab Academy 2015

Project Summary

An IoT green house for growing plants and nuturing simple organisms in optimal conditions, using a range of digital sensors to measure attributes about the micro climate. Digital sensors (pH, temperature, light, moisture levels, humidity, photography) will act as feedback loops into the micro climate varying conditions for growth and/or experiments in plant and simple organism biology.

In laymans terms, think of this as a greenhouse connected to the internet.

Working title for the project is 'Bioduino'.
