My Project
This project involves implementing a hydroponics system aimed at enhancing my students' comprehension of diverse plant growth methods. Positioned as a STEAM project, it not only facilitates hands-on learning but also yields tangible outcomes by providing students with homegrown vegetables.
Hands-on learning is the key to student engagement.
I want my students to be excited to learn and want to come to school each day. The project helps teach photosynthesis and illuminates the capacity of plants to flourish in a water-based environment, eliminating the need for soil. Recognizing the importance of hands-on experiences in student development, this endeavor is poised to instill a sense of pride in the students as they witness the entire growth process, fostering a connection from inception to fruition.
More than half of students from low‑income households
