My Project
To continue in our venture of creating a hydroponics system accessible to our school and neighborhood, we need additional hardware, tools, specific clothing, and pieces for the teachers and students involved in building and maintaining our hydroponics system.
In preparation for this, we require proper equipment to build and operate the hydroponic systems inside and outside the classroom and to be run autonomously.
In order to do this, we want to build a primary aeroponics system using a model already provided to us in order to develop the other systems to reflect the original design.
With classes all day filled with hands-on and visual learners, what better way to teach the plant unit than by implementing a hands-on unit that entails planting and caring for hydroponics and compost systems?
Every bit will help my students vastly improve our school's involvement in climate-change education through the use of engineering and technology. On top of being a part of the solution where we develop sustainable forms of gardening, this is a way for my students to give back to the community that surrounds our school. There is no better service project than beautifying our footprint in the neighborhood.
More than half of students from low‑income households
