The objective of the research is to find out the relationship between the position of the LED lighting and plant growth. As a final product this team will design and create an optimal LED plant pot that is aesthetically pleasing using 3D printing and from the information.The final product will be displayed in the Bevier Hall for education purpose. Also, this team will make a small educational poster for the Bevier Hall next to LED plant pot to educate students about LED farming and the findings we found from the experiment. Students in UIUC will learn problems regarding the modern agricultural method and learn about an alternative technology, LED farming. Furthermore, the experiment result will promote interest in students who are interested in agriculture by introducing an unfamiliar topic like LED farming. Also, the products collected from the LED plant pot can actually be used in the Bevier Hall for sale.
