Plant a school

The project aims to contribute to developing healthy fruit consumption habits and also encourage young people to be interested in careers in precision agriculture, which could be an added value in their training. Create an outdoor classroom, plant and monitor the development of fruit trees, shrubs, wild edible plants, and organic vegetable garden, inserted in the dynamics of recreation/outdoor classes and identify other existing trees in the school grounds, building identification signs with complementary information in QR code, to build a database on the group's website and an app for planning, monitoring and specialized technical support. ). In addition to work on healthier eating habits and the need to change young people's attitudes towards fruit consumption, pedagogical strategies prepared in conjunction with the Associação Portuguesa de Nutrição, such as gamification, were used. With the help of the Clube Ciência Viva at the school, an automatic irrigation system was implemented, with humidity and temperature sensors, whose collected data were subject to treatment and analysis in the disciplines involved - Natural Sciences and Physics and Chemistry. For waste collection, 2 green and brown composters were installed and two sessions on composting aimed at students and teachers.
