ASA 2023 STEAM EXPO

The Judges Committee has awarded this submission Excellence in Biological Design

PROJECT SUMMARY

Plant growth is very difficult to control and observe, which is a neccesity for plants like potatoes, which their fruits grow on the ground. This project solves this problem because its design allows you to see the growth process of the plant. It is very practical because it has spaces on both sides to put every material that you need to take care of the plant, and overall is better than normal plants. So in conclusion this is both very practical and educational, and it will be great for people that like to plant all over the world.

WHY?

I did this project because I wanted to do something that will be both educational and practical. By making this I could reach this two goals and also solve a problem for farmers or people with gardens.

HOW?

I created this project by making many prototypes in tinkercad, which is a website, and by investigating a bit about plant's necessities. I also used some STEAM materials to experiment with my idea.

WHAT?

My results are really good, and I am very happy with the last prototype. I ended up learning about more skills in 3D-

SO WHAT?

This is a important project because of many reasons. First of all, it is very educational because you can see the growth process of the plant. Second, it is very practical because it has spaces on both sides to put every material that you need to take care of the plant. So in conclusion this is both very practical and educational, and it will be great for people to like to plant all over the world.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Maybe something I can do next is print this design and do it on a larger scale. What I could've done different is that instead of doing irt on a web I could've done it with recycled materials on STEAM.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Someone who supported me with my project is Mr. Cesar Diaz, who gave me time to make my project be the best that it can be.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

This is super clever! As a gardener, I've always wanted to see the roots or growth below the surface to understand if there are any issues, such as rot or too much water. What a simple and clever solution! I wonder if there's a way you can see even deeper into the dirt or on the bottom of the plant as well?
