The technology at the heart of this is a custom sensor that enables us to replace costly lab tests with accessible, real-time, and instant insights. Compact and scalable, it integrates IoT compatibility and low power requirements, making it ideal for remote and industrial use. This technology has applications across agriculture, water quality, hydroponics, material science, and more, contributing to solutions for global challenges like food security, soil health, biopolymers development, and carbon sequestration.

The overall style is cartoony and fun as our target audience is children between 5 and 12 years old.
