LED Planter
The purpose of this project is to construct a planter made of ABS plastic. The planter needs to contain 3 pots that are 10cm by 10cm which have herbs inside. The LED light strip needs to act as a grow light for the herbs. The planter will be placed in an environment such as a kitchen where it will be easily accessible.

First Prototyping
Below are images from our discussion in class about our first prototype. We got into groups and presented our ideas letting our peers give us constructive criticism. We also went down to the workshop to learn to solder.

Reflection
Overall this project taught me so many new skills. The most difficult part however was cutting the Abs plastic. I believe my further research for watering methods made my planter improve usage wise as it needs to be watered less often as it has self-watering. My one concern is that I didn't doubly the Abs on the sides of my planter therefore resulting in a wobbly and tilted side view.
