I am now creating a cross curricular arduino project. This project will be my final assignment for my Wednesday placement class. This project aims to combine curricular competencies from wood shop, biology, and computer science by creating a planter box which monitors and waters the plants within it.

This week I ordered the parts I will need to build the electronics. I am basing the system off of this video:

I also finished 3D rendering the planter box itself with Tinkercad:

Overall, I am feeling pretty overwhelmed with the project due to my lack of experience with an Arduino. However I have a solid support system behind me and I’m looking forward to the challenge.
