Flora Project - Research hotbed
The Flora Project is a fascinating initiative that combines technology, art, and science to promote sustainability, biodiversity, and conservation.
This project involves generating and analyzing data on various plant species currently distributed in our school that can be used to study their morphology, evolution, and interactions with other organisms in their ecosystem among other characteristics.
The project aims to better understand plant life and its importance in maintaining the balance of nature.
Botanical STEAM: Exploring the intersection of Art,
Science, and Technology through flowers.
To develop educational resources and materials that promote STEAM learning and raise awareness about the importance of floral diversity and ecosystem conservation through a comprehensive inventory and analysis of trees and shrubs species in the study area.
Along with detailed ecological and cultural information, and to make this accessible to a broad audience through digital and physical media.
The technological impact of the present project is significant. By creating illustrative models of plants, applications, indexes, and a collection our students, teachers, and the community can approach plant data more efficiently and accurately.
Furthermore, the flora project enables the creation of databases that can be used to track and monitor the growth and health of plant populations in our school.
Another critical aspect of the flora project is its STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) approach.
This approach involves integrating the arts with traditional STEM subjects to promote creativity and innovation in problem-solving. The flora project incorporates the artistic aspect by creating visually stunning illustrations of plants that can be used to engage and educate the public.
The flora project’s STEAM approach also helps to bridge the gap between science and art by demonstrating how these seemingly disparate fields can be combined to create something unique and impactful.
Through this project, students can learn how to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems like climate change and biodiversity loss.
Objectives of the Flora Project
Involve students in the data collection process, teaching them about scientific data collection, analysis, and interpretation, as well as using technology to support these processes.
Use digital tools and platforms to engage with the broader community, including parents, community members, and other schools, to promote awareness and interest in the project.
Develop a mobile application that can be used by students and other community members to identify and document different floral species in the area, using image recognition and other technologies.
