What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
Last year, my students and I started a business called FH Grows. In FH Grows, 7th graders learn to be stewards of the environment while leveraging the Raspberry Pi to help our gardens grow. We sell dried herbs online and produce in our student-run farmers market. The Raspberry Pi helps us learn to make data driven decisions about our garden.
