Rebuilding Aquaponics

Help me give my students the tools needed to rebuild an aquaponics garden with VIVOSUN water pumps to improve, clean and rebuild aquaponics system.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kahale's classroom raised $999

This project is fully funded

My Project

Due to the pandemic, students were learning virtually and the aquaponics garden on campus was neglected and has deteriorated over the past 2 years. The goal is to revive the garden and the fish pond so students can learn hands on how to rebuild the aquaponics garden to a reviving and sufficient productive system.

Students can learn first hand how to take a broken aquaponics system and turn it into a well running productive garden.

We'd like to teach and learn together in person on the simple ways to grow plants that we can eat and share among our classmates and their families.
