Ana Victoria Treviño Ramirez, an Electrical Engineering student at the Instituto Tecnológico de Tepic, was selected as one of the 20 students from across the country who won the scholarship awarded in the first stage of the ANUIES4MX Technological Innovation Applied to Social Good Challenge Week.
The scholarship will allow her to travel to Osaka, Japan, to participate in an intensive immersion in Technological Innovation and Development of Advanced Skills, in collaboration with the Mirai Innovation Research Institute.
Ana will travel at the end of February to work on real projects that seek to solve global problems through the use of emerging technologies.
The project she presented during this call is an automated irrigation system that uses sensors to measure soil moisture and nutrients; these sensors send signals to a central system that processes the information and transmits it to irrigation systems, such as sprinklers, to activate irrigation when necessary.
This system also allows for the detection of water leaks, nutrient deficiencies and obstructions, providing accurate information on areas with excess or shortage of water, thus improving control in crop care.
