Yi De Self-Watering Pot
- We discussed the progress of growth of our broccoli and kang-kong seeds using the 5 steps design thinking process.
- We discovered most of us forgot to water the plant.
- Final aim: To design a self-watering pot that can work with micro:bit and water-pump to improve the success rate of home farming using tinkercad and/or fusion360 software.
