Students spent time during their lunch periods in West Hollow’s maker space assembling the various systems that comprise our FarmBot. This CNC farming robot is in charge of maintaining a raised bed community garden in the atrium of our school. This nearly 100 square foot garden is seeded, watered, weeded, and monitored by coding sequences written by student engineers. In addition to allowing our students to engage in problem solving and computational thinking, the produce that is harvested from this garden throughout the school year will be donated to Island Harvest food bank in an attempt to reach out to community members struggling with food insecurity.
