Welcome to Project I2GROW

Bringing Agricultural Technologies to Classrooms

Our Goals

Agricultural Innovation

The agricultural industry is developing constantly to meet growing demands. New technologies, such as advanced hydroponic indoor farms, can increase the efficiency of farming for the future.

Technical Education

By following this tutorial, students gain hands-on experience with hydroponic farming, robotics, and programming. The project is accessible to students who have not yet had instruction in these topics.

Sustainability

Monitoring and predicting plant growth is essential to efficiently maintaining healthy indoor farms that are more environmentally friendly than traditional farming methods.
