hydroponics farm
Scholars at Brownsville Collaborative Middle School Academy For Agricultural Technology, with help from their passionate Principal Gregory Jackson Jr. and other school educators, have started a hydroponic farm. Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.
One classroom has evolved into an indoor hydroponic farm where crops are grown in water instead of dirt. “The Scholars love it.”, exclaimed Principal Jackson. “Because there are no healthy options in Brownsville, we are creating them.”
To address the kinesthetic learners, this hydroponics STEM program affords students the opportunity to even create the equipment necessary to grow the plants. Scholars are a part of every aspect of the progress, which includes designing and building the equipment, choosing and maintaining the crops, and deciding what will happen once the crops are harvested.
Through hydroponics, scholars grow produce year-round, which will help to promote healthy eating among students as well as community members. The produce grown includes tomatoes, herbs, peppers, lettuce, swiss chard, basil sage and watercress.
