plants including microscopic plants use co2 for photosynthesis during the day to convert light energy into chemical energy. oxygen and glucose are a byproduct of this process. at night plants respire, using oxygen to release energy from carbohydrates for their own metabolic needs. simply put during the day plants make food and at night they […]

adding a brain to jellyfish our diy aquaponics educational kit
Kijani Grows Mini DIY V2 Controller The v2 controller Now that the sensor box, tank sensor adapter and capacitive level sensors are ready we can begin wiring them on the v2 smart controller. The v2 controller board is shown below V2 enclosure assembly First step is to protect your board using the v2 cardboard […]
introducing jellyfish our mini diy educational aquaponics kit
Kijani Grows Mini DIY Aquaponics Kit Smart Aquaponics is a fun way to study STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) and to grow your own food. We designed this kit for Makers of all ages as a tool for reducing friction in integrated and project based learning. This kit is designed to make […]
kijani seedlings spring integrated program
this spring break, we are opening our doors to 10 people – high schoolers or college students to spent a week geeking out with us at our offices and workshop at american steel studios. we will spent the week exploring some potential solutions to basic human needs such as hunger – handson, through the integration […]
monitoring water quality using a smart v2 controller
my favorite xmas presents included the tentacle shield, water quality kit probes and electronics i received from atlas-scientific as well as whitebox labs. i have used atlas devices for a while and even tried to create my own interface boards like the one shown below i had numerous production challenges with this original setup but […]
springtails
a close-up of my garden showing springtails below wikipedia says they are the largest of modern hexapods that are not considered insects because they have internal mouthparts they are called springtails because they have an spring loaded appendage folded underneath them for jumping when threatened. that is the long part shown extended in the picture […]
