The FarmBot project started at Engine-4 with the aim of exploring, learning, and developing agricultural technology.
As FarmBot is an open-source initiative, we delved into the world of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and began creating and modifying components as we acquired knowledge. Through a grant from the Department of Economic Development and Commerce, we secured the opportunity to install ten FarmBot units in various schools affiliated with the Puerto Rico Department of Education. These schools are situated in Morovis, Lares, Carolina, Isabela, San Sebastian, Barceloneta, Arecibo, Camuy, Canovanas, and Juana Diaz.
Currently, we are actively involved in the logistical preparations and material procurement phase. The ten FarmBot units have been ordered and are en route to the island. Once in our possession, we will commence the project, impacting both teachers and students by integrating agricultural technology into their educational journey.
