Description (French)
Le projet comprendra la conception de l'électronique pour un système atmoponique qui utilise des diodes électroluminescentes, des capteurs et des dispositifs de production de brouillard. Ces éléments fournissent un environnement riche en nutriments et économe en énergie qui permet la croissance d'une variété de plantes et de produits dans un environnement urbain sans l'utilisation de la terre. Le projet nécessitera en outre la vérification et le test de tous les systèmes électriques, ainsi que la gestion de l'exécution de toutes les certifications requises, telles que UL et FCC, afin de produire un système atmoponique qui sera vendu comme un bien de consommation.
