Project Timeline

Mar 2023 - Apr-2023

OVERVIEW

Competed in the 2023 Georgian National STEM Competition, organized by the University of Georgia and Alexander Kartveli Association, focused on integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into practical innovation. The competition challenged participants to design an automated drip irrigation greenhouse system capable of sustainable, year-round plant growth.

Additional Details

As part of the Georgian National STEM Competition Finals, my team developed a fully automated hydroponic greenhouse system designed to enable continuous cultivation of vegetables and plants throughout the year. The system used Arduino microcontrollers to automate irrigation and monitor environmental variables like humidity and soil moisture, ensuring efficient water usage and healthy plant growth.

All structural parts were laser-cut for precision and modularity, while the electronics handled the logic and automation of the irrigation system. Our approach emphasized efficiency, sustainability, and scalability, aligning with the competition’s mission to promote innovation in STEM education.

The project was evaluated by experts from universities and industry, and our team earned 2nd place, receiving an invitation for a three-day educational trip to CERN — a recognition of both technical creativity and practical impact.
