  2. Challenge 1 Smart Urban Farm

  3. What Is Urban Farming? • Cultivate food in an urban space • Bio intensive • Sustainable agriculture • Fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers

  4. So What’s The Problem? • City people = Cultivators • Weather in Singapore • Thirsty plants

  5. Primary Objectives • Water Distribution • Light For Growth • Pest Protection (Mechanical)

  6. Challenge Objective • Store or Convey growing information for the Farmer

  7. What’s Being Done Now • Drip Irrigation • Weather Prediction • Pesticides And Chemicals

  8. Some Ideas For You • Smart Watering System • Bird Spikes • Sun Tracking

  9. Challenge 2 Floating Farm

  10. What Is A Floating Farm? • Growing Crops On Water • Freshwater • Offshore • Controlled Mediums • Sustainable Agriculture • Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Spices

  11. Why Farm On Water? • Low Cost • Increase Growth Surface Area • 10 Times More Productive

  12. Primary Objectives • Floating Platform • Improve Accessibility • Optimize Moisture Level

  13. Challenge Objective • Store or convey growing information for the farmer

  14. Historical Context • Chinampas • Gardens That Once Fed The Aztec Empire

  15. What’s Being Done Now • Floating Beds Of Hyacinth And Bamboo • Aquaponics

  16. Closing Note “Farms of the future must occupy less space, rely on fewer pesticides and produce food that travels blocks, not miles to our tables”

  17. Networking

  18. Team Formation • Pick a chit which will determine which case you will be working on. • Form a team of 4 with participants working on the same Case as you.

  19. Ideation • Ideate with your group to come with a sketch of what you would like to make

  20. Admin Brief • Next Phase: Workshops • Day 1 – 16th Oct, 6pm-9pm, E4-4-4 (Arduino) • Day 2 – 17th Oct, 7pm-10pm, Sustainable Living Lab, Bottle Tree Park (Equipment walkthrough and Site Analysis) • Attire for 17th Oct Workshop and Prototyping – Covered shoes and long pants • Facebook Group – Engineering Hackathon 2012

  21. Admin Brief • Materials available: • Arduino Kit from SgBotic (More details during Arduino Workshop) • Plastic Tubing (2m), Wood, Bamboo, Plastic Bottles, Metal Cans • Budget of $80 to buy other materials to make prototype (Reimbursement by claim. No food and cab claims) • 10% discount on SgBotic. Coupon code: ASME-IES-HACKATHON • Tip: Wait for both Workshops to finish before buying any materials.
