Turn Back Time (TBT) is an education center that teaches through play and hands-on experience. In our project, we aimed to build an irrigation system that reduced employee hours spent watering the production garden at TBT, and to create associated educational material for TBT. With the advice of staff and local experts, we designed and built an irrigation system spanning the entire production garden, as well as an educational station that uses play and emergent learning to teach about water.
