Challenge 3
Engineer a solution to the design of the Exolab
Due 29 March 2024

Modify the design of the Exolab to:
At the end of 2023 schools reconfigured their ExoLabs to measure changes in the algae over time (temperature, humidity, CO2 and lux). Both quantitative data, recorded in spreadsheets, and qualitative data, captured through images from the camera, were collected. It has been discovered that many of the direct visual observations are not aligned with the experiment configuration.
PART 1
Capture the most accurate visual observations from the camera and design a custom rack to hold the Biologix 25cm² cell culture flask securely in position.
PART 2
Position the lux sensor so it can measure how much light passes through the flask.
Resources
What is an Exolab?
Access Exolab data on temperature, humidity, CO2, and lux, along with hourly images from 2023 Ground Trials. Some of the images might not be clear as the camera was not aligned with experiment configurations. Log into the online classroom to access data on temperature, humidity, CO2, and lux, along with hourly images from 2023’s Ground Trials.
