The main challenge was to adapt, each home is different with special conditions, therefore each student had to propose a modular design that mus fit almost in any garden using the most common to find objects to build the garden.
Arduino and sensors are needed to monitor, sense study each special garden condition and apply mathematical equations that help to improve their gardening techniques such as sunlight, water, nutrients or else.
We based our home gardening lesson plan using the Growing-minds information to support our self learning activities. https://growing-minds.org/garden-lesson-plans/
Based on kidsgardening.org " Inspire students' natural curiosity and wonder with hands-on learning experiences and inquiry-based exploration" https://kidsgardening.org/lesson-plans/
