High-Level Project Summary
The main idea of the project is provide each plant with its perfect conditions. We have developed a new technology that makes the smart greenhouse able to monitor and analyze the data received. Then, it can give the best decision for each device. The project solves the problem of climate change by this way as it utilizes the internal conditions for each plant. The problem now represents a significant harm to agriculture, so we had to implement an idea that solves the problem.

Detailed Project Description
Our project depends on Arduino codes. We have put a code for each sensor to do its function perfectly. In the Smart Greenhouse we have put a DHT11 sensor to measure the temperature. If the temperature is less than 25 degree Celsius, the lamps we light to emit heat. If the temperature is more than 25 degree Celsius, the fan will work to fine the weather. There is a Soil Moisture sensor to measure the moisture of the soil is more than 400, the water pump works to pump the water until the moisture reaches 400. If the moisture is less than 400, the water pump stops working. We have and IR sensor that determine what if anything entered the greenhouse, and in this case, the piezo buzzer alarms up. This project will decrease the effort and the work that the farmer do, and increase the programmers’ numbers. This solution also will save the used water in irrigation and solve the problem of the water used. We used C++ language especially the Arduino language in coding, and also used the excel program to collect the gained data from sensors.
Space Agency Data
We have collected many data that we used from our project from Nasa website on the internet. We searched about Nasa and the climate change, and we found some data that inspired us to do our project. For example, we have knew from the effects of climate change that Nasa put on its website that the temperature increases by one degree Celsius every year. This helped us in trying to adapt with this increase in the temperature by using the fan to fine the weather. Also, we knew all the information we needed about climate change from the causes of climate change that is served on the internet through Nasa website also.
Hackathon Journey
We think that although that we participated in many competitions and won or get a high rank in some of them, the Nasa Space Apps Hackathon is the most important and interesting competition that we participated in, as we worked hard for two months to improve our project to make it as significant as we could. This gained us many experiences in many more fields. We tried to be the prototype as applicable as we could, and we believe that it is very applicable in a wide range. We chose this challenge from scratch because of the motivation we had towards it. Only the reading about the impacts of the issue motivates you because of its huge disasters. Specifically, the problem in Egypt represents a significant trouble, so we were so concerned with this problem to solve. We have faced many obstacles during our journey. But the motivation of us was the biggest cause for our completion. We overcame many challenges like the issues in implementing the prototype and the technical. Fortunately, by cooperation, we succeeded in going forward. Finally, we extremely acknowledge Dr. Ahmed Ashour for his excellent sessions in academic research which benefited us a lot.
