My Project

We’re introducing a vermicomposting system—a living laboratory right in our classrooms! Imagine students actively engaged in understanding ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and sustainability. With our system, they’ll witness biology in action, turning food scraps into valuable compost. It’s hands-on education at its best.

Our worm bins become mini ecosystems.

Students observe decomposition, nutrient release, and symbiotic relationships. It’s like having a front-row seat to nature’s classroom.

Are you ready to empower our students with real-world knowledge? By supporting our vermicomposting system, you’re investing in their growth. Let’s cultivate curious minds, nurture responsible citizens, and turn waste into wisdom. Together, we’ll help our school understand Biology—one worm at a time!
