Our Aquaponic ecosystems are custom designed for each classroom. They are non-intrusive and aesthetically pleasing, giving excitement to the entire room.
Aquaponics is a symbiotic ecosystem, that is dependent on fish, bacteria, and plants in order to function. These organisms constantly recycle nutrients, and purify the water. Our hands-on teaching methods help students learn the basics of water chemistry, fish care, plant care, and the nitrogen cycle.
Aquaponics Consulting
Aquaponics brings the outdoor environment into the classroom, and engages students as they grow food sustainably indoors. As an aquaponics consultant, we ensure that the system is built correctly, can effectively grow plants, and is designed with ease of maintenance in mind. We teach students of all ages how aquaponics works, and assign activities that give the students an active roll in the system. If you're interested in having an aquaponics unit in your school, please don't hesitate to contact us for professional guidance on your project.
