• For my project in the 2021 Summer Research Program I designed an aeroponic
  potato pot. The task given was designing a small aeroponic pot that could be
  used domestically and tuber roots (ex: yam, potato) were going to be the niche
  purpose for the aeroponic pot. This choice was made because when gardening
  tubers it is common to lose some of the underground crop either from not
  digging it up or damaging it while digging it up but in aeroponics the root is
  exposed therefore harvesting would be more efficient. Potatoes were the specific
  crop decided on for research because of their versatility and how common
  potatoes are in people's diets. By the end of the Summer Research Program the
  design for the aeroponic potato pot had been 3D modeled.
