Today, we are going to build our own vertical farm with grow LED lights. This prototype was heavily based on the lighting system in Eden Green Technology‘s hydroponic greenhouse! Watch this video to learn more about their lighting technology:

Now it’s time to engineer our own vertical farm lighting system! We want to create a system that allows us to grow different plants under optimal conditions, which are often researched and identified by Plant Scientists.

In the end, our prototype is going to look a little something like this:

A 3D render of Forward Education's Vertical farm with grow LED completed project.

You can complete this project a few different ways:

Use

An icon of a learner using code, building blocks surround their head.

Follow steps to build & use your vertical farm!

Modify

An icon of a learner at a table with a laptop. Code blocks surround their head.

Follow steps to build & code your vertical farm!

Create

An icon of a learner building their own project, a pencil and glowing lightbulb icon surround their head.

Design, build & code your own vertical farm lighting system from scratch!
