Two high school students from Gala\u021bi want to revolutionize agriculture! They have developed a project for an automated ecological greenhouse, which earned them the trophy at the National Arduino Competition.<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postu Mario<\/strong> and Bogdan George Alexandru<\/strong> from the Sports Program High School in Gala\u021bi, along with their coordinating teacher Apostol Valeriu<\/strong>, have developed the Ecosera<\/em><\/strong> project, an automated greenhouse that uses aquaponics, a method of cooperation between plants and fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water in which the fish live is used to water the plants without the need for human intervention. Everything is controlled by sensors that monitor water flow and level, temperature, pH, and humidity in the greenhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquaponics is applied to plants growing in greenhouses and solariums. It involves an automated water recirculation system in which fish are kept. The water is enriched with nutrients due to the presence of the fish. To be watered through this system, the plants are placed in horizontal tubes or cascades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students have created a fully automated greenhouse equipped with sensors that transmit information and commands executed automatically by pumps and fans. Thus, in their school's courtyard, the two teenagers took care of both the plants and the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything is controlled based on sensors that check the water flow and level, temperature, pH, and humidity in the greenhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Water is taken from the fish, and the plants are watered automatically<\/em>\", described one of the students from the Robotica LPS team, explaining the mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizat\u0103 de ADFABER<\/a> \u0219i sponsorizat\u0103 de BOSCH Rom\u00e2nia<\/a>, competi\u021bia s-a adresat liceenilor pasiona\u021bi de robotic\u0103, \u00eencuraj\u00e2ndu-i s\u0103 ofere solu\u021bii pentru probleme actuale. Proiectele c\u00e2\u0219tig\u0103toare au impresionat jura\u021bii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the teenagers plan to do next with the technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The wow<\/em> ideas don't stop here. Second place in the competition is occupied by the Paco BT<\/strong> team, which proposed a smart parking system that charges eco-friendly cars with solar energy. Sauciuc Tamara<\/strong> and Ursu George<\/strong>, along with teacher Luisian Grigore<\/strong> from Palatul Copiilor Boto\u0219ani, formed one of the best teams in the country in the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauciuc Tamara<\/strong> and Ursu George<\/strong>, along with teacher Luisian Grigore<\/strong> from Palatul Copiilor Boto\u0219ani, formed one of the best teams in the country in the competition. Their proposed parking system is fully autonomous and can be placed in isolated areas where access to the electrical grid is limited. The charging system is either conventional or wireless, and the project model was made from recyclable materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It's a current and innovative solution to today's pollution problem... We took our city as an example, where some areas are very crowded, and it's very difficult to find a parking space<\/em>,\" said Tamara Sauciuc about the Smart Parking<\/em><\/strong> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team that took the third place in the National Arduino Competition is composed of two high school students from Satu Mare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drago\u0219 Marian<\/strong> and D\u0103nu\u021b Sara Evodia<\/strong> are students at the \"Ioan Slavici\" National College and they became winners in the competition with their project Traffic Lights<\/em><\/strong>. Along with their teacher, Kabai Timea<\/strong>, they propose an intelligent traffic light system for the visually impaired, with sound signals indicating the green light, a button that can change all pedestrian traffic lights to green, and barriers that rise in front of cars when the traffic light turns red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application-based system is equipped with infrared sensors and a remote control, allowing emergency vehicles to pass through, lowering the barriers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We gained a lot of experience in building a model and programming it, especially in the Arduino part, which is a fascinating subject for us<\/em>,\" Drago\u0219 Marian also mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three teams on the podium talk about their projects in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
