From selecting the right type of plants and the right type of lighting, to dreaming up water delivery systems that work in zero gravity, the ISS team are currently growing food in an environment alien to plant life - and our NXplorers teams are doing the same back home on earth.
As we explored above, a NXplorers team in Qatar have made inhospitable soil fertile using magnetised water. In Oman, a team of NXplorers are using paper to feed their plants. And in Singapore, NXplorers are taking plant growing out onto the open seas.
REIMAGINING MAGNETIC FORCES AS A SUSTAINABLE ECOSYSTEM
NXplorers students in Qatar Science & Technology School for Boys, in Doha, reimagined magnetic forces to develop a solution that reduced the acidity of native soil.
Trinidad: Carbon Capture Filter
Celebrating this year’s awards with our winner, Kaveer Phillips who reimagined using carbon capture device to reduce emissions from engines.
Singapore: Hydrobox water harvesting
This year in Singapore, Team Hydrogen Bond, used NXthinking tools like the Connections Circle Feasibility Funnel to identify a low energy method of harvesting clean water for the growth of crops.
