Help me give my students the materials to become aquaponics farmers and feed our small community!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Cumbie's classroom raised $214

My Project

Aquaponics is a project that has been offered to our scholars at GSA, so we need the supplies to help get us off the ground. This is a fantastic, real-world exploration of the STEAM curriculum in a way that allows the scholars to contribute to our small community.

Living in a food desert, where there is little to no grocery or farms, this small aquaponics farm will be the catalyst for our small community with our STEAM curriculum!

With these supplies, our aquaponics lab would be operational and allow the scholars to grow necessary food items to use in what we hope can become a community farmers market.
