About the Program: 

Using aquaponics to teach biology course content. Each of my classes will be designing and constucting a desktop aquaponic system to grow their own food. I also have a 230 gallon Nelson and Pade F5 greenhouse system that the kids use to experiment with and grow various kids of produce.

With a new high school construction project in the works I want to expand this idea to producing food for our cafeteria.
