This is a sensor for various plants that can sense water, pH, sunlight, and temperature. Using our sensor will help you better understand the health of your plant, as well as it's needs.
Often times it's frustrating that 70% of carbon emissions come from large companies. And it feels like there is little that individuals can do to improve the environment. One simple step that people can take is growing more plants. However, it can be complicated to grow healthy, lasting plants. To encourage others to grow more plants, we decided to create the MyPlant sensor. The goal of this sensor project is to create an easier way for people to keep plants alive and healthy. It can be difficult to understand why a plant is not living to its full potential, but with our sensor the process is easy and simplified.
The members behind this project are Emma Toussaint, Sophie Toussaint, Nicole Mendt, Lauren Ghil, Carmen Hagerty, Sannika Chauk, David Lubawski, Avi Kopec, Steven Zhang, Mahima Pannala, and Sydney Dunn. Our team was organized and met through the Carnegie Mellon University Project Ignite program, under the Enviornmental Tech team.
