PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
Future Farm inspires students to create sustainable solutions at the intersection of agriculture and technology. Through hands-on initiatives, members develop skills in electrical engineering, physical computing, programming, and 3D modeling. Meetings encourage self-directed learning, with officers offering support when challenges arise. More than a typical STEM club, Future Farm connects students to one of the most vital yet overlooked pillars of our world: agriculture. Working directly with farmers, students gain empathy, purpose, and a deeper appreciation for the systems that sustain us.
PLOOKSOOK FARM
At Plooksook Farm, rising temperatures made it difficult for kale to grow, often leading to crop loss. Farmers were forced to manually spray water throughout the day to keep the plants cool, which was both exhausting and inefficient. In response, we developed an automatic misting system that activates when temperatures exceed a set limit, gently cooling two growing sections and creating a more stable environment for the crops to thrive.
TWENTY TWO
FARM
At Twenty Two Farm, we addressed two significant challenges impacting tomato cultivation. First, we developed an automatic timer system that pumps water at set intervals to help dilute acidic fertilizer mixtures and reduce manual labor. Second, we created a pH sensor to monitor fertilizer acidity, allowing farmers to better manage soil conditions and support healthier tomato growth.
INSUWAN RICE FARM
At Insuwan Rice Farm, our team developed a WiFi-connected irrigation management system deployed across three rice farms to promote sustainable water use. The system continuously measures field water levels using ultrasonic sensors, transmitting real-time data to a cloud dashboard accessible via smartphone. When the water level becomes too high or too low, farmers receive instant notifications, allowing them to irrigate precisely when needed. This reduces unnecessary water consumption by up to 30% while maintaining optimal soil moisture for healthy crop growth. The project not only conserves water but also supports Thailand’s nationwide effort to implement climate-smart rice cultivation.
Laddawan Garden (สวนลัดดาวัลย์) FARM
In collaboration with Pollination Nation, our club designed and implemented smart beehives equipped with load sensors and LED alert systems for a local bee farm. Each unit continuously monitors the hive’s weight, a key indicator of honey production, and triggers an LED signal once the hive reaches the desired capacity (typically 5 kilograms). This innovation allows beekeepers to monitor honey yield without disturbing the bees, improving both efficiency and hive health. The project combines precision agriculture and environmental stewardship, helping local bee farmers sustainably manage their colonies while contributing to pollinator conservation.
