Purpose
The kit is a construction kit for assembling a model of a smart greenhouse with a robotic control system, combining the following tasks:
— Mechanical assembly of body elements
— Installation of electrical circuits
— Use of sensors to monitor internal environment parameters and create algorithms for automatic control of these parameters (in particular, temperature, soil moisture, illumination) for the purpose of growing biological crops
— JavaScript programming using the NodeJS framework (+HTML and CSS)
— Study of the influence of temperature, soil moisture and illumination on plant growth

Areas of knowledge and application
— Additional education
— Project and meta-subject activities (biology, chemistry, ecology, physics, computer science, robotics)

What will the child learn?
— Optimization of plant maintenance conditions
— Maintaining the temperature in the internal compartment within specified limits (turning on and off automatic heating and ventilation depending on the parameters inside the compartment)
— Automation of plant watering
— The influence of color characteristics of lighting on the growth and development of plants of a certain type
— The influence of light intensity on plant growth and development
— The influence of air circulation on plant growth and development
— Work in operating systems of the Linux family, as well as their administration
— Organization of interaction between devices in networks built on the basis of the TCP/IP protocol
— Understanding the basics of client-server technologies
— Understanding the basics of the HTTP protocol
— Event-driven programming in JavaScript using the Node.JS framework
— Understanding the basics of building feedback systems using cloud technologies (the concept "Internet of Things")
— Web interface programming

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept of a computing network of some devices (“things”) equipped with built-in technologies for interacting with each other or with the external environment, considering the organization of such networks as a phenomenon capable of restructuring economic and social processes, eliminating the need for human participation from some actions and operations.

Updates
- Individually
- Work in pairs
— Group lessons

When working with the kit, students can team up project teams from 3 to 5 people.
All operating modes are controlled and readings are monitored via a Web interface, accessible via a wireless Wi-Fi connection of the microcomputer to a local network.
The control system ensures periodic transmission of all registered parameters to cloud services and has the ability to automatically control the actuators included in the model.

Methodological support
The methodological support in Russian contains a description of the kit composition, instructions for assembly, connection and operation of the kit, as well as a description of experiments demonstrating the capabilities of the kit.

Software module
The software module includes the necessary components for setting up the operation of the microcomputer, sensors and actuators.
