Once the students had learned to sense the soil and sunlight for the garden irrigation system, they then began the work of designing a solar tracking system that would be hooked up to the micro-controller so that the entire system could be "off-grid". The students were broken into teams to design different prototypes for the solar tracker. The students are also in the process of learning how to control servos, so once they have the design, they will build the design and program the micro-controller to move the servo so that the solar panel tracks the sun's position.
The students will then judge the designs of all the teams and a decision will be made to see which design makes the most sense. So far the designs are looking really good! Nice work teams.
