If mankind decides to colonize Mars, Le Petit Prince would be a good partner to bring along. This robotic greenhouse concept is designed to help the population of Mars by protecting plants and scavenging for nutrients. Le Petit Prince carries a plant inside its glass container and provides it with everything it needs to flourish on the red planet. The greenhouse robot is designed to learn the optimal process of searching for nutrients, and it can send reports to fellow robots, enabling them to learn from one another.

An artist-turned-teacher teachers students to build bikes from scratch. 

Tis the season to grow ranunculus flowers indoors!
I also have a potted rose budding, a jade plant, a palm variety, and two dracaena plant varieties. Spring is lovely.

Spring is pretty much here! Waiting for my new PUBLIC bike to get delivered. I am so excited. It’s all I can think about. Making plans of all the journeys to take.

The GOOD 30-Day Challenge: Art Every Day
Art is essential. If you haven’t reached that conclusion on your own, consider some evidence: Science shows that exposure to art is correlated with enhanced abilities in math, cognition, and vocabulary.
We’re using March’s GOOD 30-Day Challenge to dare ourselves to make time for art in our lives. We’ve listed 31 ideas for incorporating art into your month into a convenient check list. If you’d like, you can try to do all 31 tasks in a week, or take your time and space them out. Either way, every time you’ve completed a task, come back to the page and check off the one you’ve done. At the end of the month, we’ll tally up all the actions to quantify how much more artistic everyone got in March.
