My Project

We need to help the fish by getting the materials so we can also test the water to make sure that we are doing this project right.

We are wanting to build a device that checks water level of our pond at our school and notifies us when the water is too high or too low.

So what we are going to do is get a water level sensor. Next, we are going to 3d print a koi fish outer shell so the fish don't get scared and so the fish wont eat the wires inside.

We have had this pond and these fish for a long time and we want to keep them. So please donate to help us get the materials.
