PROJECT CONTRIBUTIONS

 My Contributions to the Technical Report Project:

1) Problem + Purpose Statement (Team Effort):

I worked collaboratively with the team to develop a clear and focused problem and purpose statement, ensuring that the direction of our report was grounded in the main challenges and goals of the project. This effort laid the essential foundation for the report's structure and clarity.

2) Conclusion of the Report:
I contributed to the conclusion of the report, synthesizing key findings and reiterating the proposed solutions. This section aimed to highlight the impact of our enhancements and their potential to improve vertical farming efficiency.

3) Background (Enhancements):
I provided an in-depth explanation of the proposed enhancements, including the role of 3D printed components in the system. I explained how the 3D printed parts function within the vertical farming system, focusing on their design, usability, and how they help optimize system performance. I also described the phone notification feature, explaining how this technology enhances user interaction and system monitoring by sending real-time updates.

4) Comparison of Hydroponic Systems:
I conducted research on different types of hydroponic systems, comparing their functionalities, advantages, and drawbacks. I helped the team decide on the 4T48 hydroponic system by detailing how it best met our project’s needs and objectives, particularly its efficiency and compatibility with the proposed enhancements.

5) Presentation of the Project (Team Effort):
I contributed to the development and delivery of the project presentation, working with the team to ensure a cohesive and engaging delivery of our technical findings. This included preparing visuals, supporting data, and ensuring all team members were aligned in presenting our work.
