Sol-450 is an AI-managed simulation of growing food on Mars. I built it with a team of four at START Hack 2026, where the Mars greenhouse challenge was one of the mandated tracks. We chose it because the premise was strong and because it gave us a reason to try Three.js for the first time.
The site uses a Python file hosted as an AWS Lambda function to simulate conditions on Mars, including the probability of dust storms, CO2 spikes, and water leakages. A system of AI agents collaborates to manage and tweak different aspects of the greenhouse so the astronauts have enough resources to last the full length of their trip.
The agents ran on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and adjusted parameters via a DynamoDB table. The frontend was built with React and hosted on AWS Amplify. The 3D rendering is done with Three.js.
I worked full-stack on the project and enjoyed the entire process. We finished in 36 hours, with very little sleep. A demo video is linked below.
