QVFT: Stack Team Member

Engineering Society of Queen's University


Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Kingston, ON
Contract type: Full time
The Queen's Vertical Farming Team, founded in 2019, is Canada's first undergraduate engineering team of its kind. Recognizing this rapidly emerging industry, QVFT is designing and building a functional, software-automated aeroponic vertical farm on Queen's University campus. The majority of existing research in this field is conducted privately and is thus inaccessible to the public. Through its open-source approach, QVFT aims to democratize vertical farming knowledge and research.

The Stack Team within QVFT focuses on maintaining the website and designing the virtual dashboard for our farm in the future. This would involve taking data reported via sensors to an online dashboard on our website so viewers can see the humidity, nutrients, and light levels at the farm remotely. A Stack team member's duties include website design, keeping the website current, and an interest in coding.
