Session description

Junior high school students linked science, technology, and small-scale agriculture, designing a smart school greenhouse (EcoDome), which allows students throughout the school to be taught the importance of urban agriculture for the future.

Purpose & objective

Purpose: The students researched and designed a smart greenhouse, as an alternative to teaching other children the importance of urban agriculture that prevents world hunger in the medium term and that can be replicated at home.

Objectives:
-Research and document the operation and necessary conditions of a greenhouse
-Analyze the type of plants that are suitable for planting in urban spaces
-Design, build, and program the smart greenhouse
-Present and test the greenhouse in front of the school community for replication in homes or urban spaces.

Outline

Participants will be able to observe a model of the greenhouse developed by the students to identify its components and operation so that they can put it to the test. The students will explain the learning process they had during the development of the project, its complexity, and the importance it has for the near future.
90 minutes would be an adequate time to perform the demonstration.
