Grow! Test! Create!

Imagine the future of food in space with our interactive STEM research kit.

Join the Plants for Space researchers to re-imagine how we can grow the plants and make food for astronauts that tastes good and that they actually want to eat! 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Become a space farmer, sow your astro plant seeds in hydroponics units, investigate what conditions help the plants grow most sustainably - test with dipsticks, and track colour, size, and taste!
• Be inspired by your experiment and help create a Community Space Food Cookbook by submitting your own recipes, results and ideas! 

Grow your own space garden. Imagine the future. Join the adventure! 

Register to receive your STEM research kit through the “Booking Info” on this page.

Each kit includes: 

• Seeds 
• Hydroponic plant growth units (Gyrosnaps, hydrogel, nutrients) 
• Plant growth test kit (test strips)  
• Experiment guides  
• Swag

You can submit one or more of the following via online form:
