In this kit you’ll find everything you need to build an open source farm.The Red Hat Co.Lab Farm kit packs three activities into one small box:First learn how breadboards work and experiment with creating simple circuits by adding jumper wires batteries and an LEDThen by adding a sensor to the components from your breadboard experiments you’ll create a signal that lights up when there’s not enough moisture in your planter. And by reversing one piece of the circuit you’ll use the same components to build a sensor that lights when there’s too much moisture.Finally with the addition of your own seeds and container as well as the hydroponic felt included with the kit you can plant your own microgreen garden.Add some sun and a few days later you will have your own crop.Circuitry basics an introduction to a key maker tool building a working “Water-Me Signal ” and creating your own microgreen garden -- so many activities in one small box.
