We have decided to focus our efforts on addressing painpoints with current cultivation methods:

1. The main issues that people who start growing spirulina deal with is getting the culture going after a few trials. This is due to the precision needed in providing the right PH, temperature, light and nutrients for the culture.

2. The other issue is harvesting. Currently harvest is messy and time consuming.

3. Most people who grow spirulina at home are among the DIYers who experiment with growing different organisms at home. These people tend to be purists, who want to grow their own food organically and the current kits don’t address this need.

To address these main issues, we aim to design a device to automate:

• feeding ( compost tea)

• PH balance (baking soda)

• temperature

• light

• harvest
