Product Description

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.

  • Collect data and automate systems for smart plant care

  • Experiment with variables and growing techniques

  • Explore careers in agriculture and build industry skills

Smart Hydroponics Kit Features:

  • Control an LED grow light by programming the brightness and on/off light cycles 
  • Measure and log pH levels of the water 
  • Monitor water levels with a Float Sensor 
  • Use a Water Pump to refill the water reservoir or cycle water within the tank 

**Plant seeds not included.
