Schools & Education

Grow from seed to plate. Zero teacher burden.

Students grow microgreens and herbs from seed to plate, connect biology to food, and leave with a skill they can use at home. SmartGrow handles all the technical maintenance — so teachers focus on the lesson, not the appliance.

Why it works

Why it works for schools

1

Hands-on science with a real result

Students observe germination, root growth, nutrient cycles, and photosynthesis — then harvest and eat what they grew. The learning loop is complete and tangible.

2

Curriculum integration, not a side project

Hydroponic growing connects directly to biology, chemistry, and technology syllabuses. We provide lesson-plan guidance so the system supports structured classroom sessions, not just a display.

3

Zero teacher maintenance burden

Our technician visits monthly and manages every technical aspect. A teacher never needs to adjust nutrients, replace seeds, or troubleshoot the system — that is entirely our responsibility.

4

A visible school initiative

A SmartGrow installation communicates a commitment to sustainability and practical education — visible to parents, inspectors, and prospective students from day one.

What to expect

Honest about what this is

A SmartGrow Tower at your school is a teaching tool, not a catering supply. What it does — every week through the academic year — is give students a direct, hands-on connection to where food comes from and how controlled growing works. The scale is right for classroom sessions and small cafeteria tastings, not bulk school meal production.

What to expect

  • 12–40 portions of microgreens and herbs per week for classroom and cafeteria use [calibrate with Sophia before launch]
  • Structured learning sessions tied to biology and food technology curricula
  • Zero teacher time beyond facilitating student harvest — our technician handles all maintenance

What we don't promise

  • Bulk school meal ingredient supply
  • Produce for sale or external distribution
  • Operation without the monthly service contract

Service at your school

What the service contract means for your team

Schools need reliable systems that run without teacher intervention. Our monthly service contract means a SmartGrow technician manages the unit completely — seed changes, nutrient refills, cleaning, and any technical issues. The teacher's role is to guide students through the learning sessions, not to manage the appliance.

Early results

We are running an active pilot with our first school partners

Our first school installations are going in this academic year. We will publish lesson outcomes and teacher feedback here as soon as our pilot schools give sign-off. If you want to be among the first in Tbilisi, book a visit — we will come to your school, show you the unit, and walk through the classroom programme.
