SoilSmart Student Lab provides hands-on soil science education through a portable testing kit paired with an AI-powered companion app. Students collect soil samples from schoolyards, parks, and community gardens, then test for pH, heavy metals, nitrogen, and organic matter. The AI app interprets results, suggests remediation strategies, and connects findings to broader environmental topics like food safety, urban agriculture, and land use policy.
