Resumo

The development of Climate Controlled Smart Garden Systems (CCSGS) serves as a vital educational tool in the intersection of agriculture and technology, particularly within the framework of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. This project, carried out between 2023 and 2024, brought together four secondary schools from Italy, Turkey, Russia, and Nepal in a unique international collaboration effort that was backed by the International Schools Association (ISA) from Switzerland, the Federal University of Rondonópolis in Brazil, and STEM Education from Greece. The core objective was to teach students about sustainable farming practices, the environmental effects of agriculture, and how technology—like IoT and automation—can be practically applied in these settings. By engaging students in hands-on activities and fostering cross-cultural teamwork, the project sought to build their technical skills, encourage a sense of global community, and show how STEM concepts can be used to tackle real-world issues.
