Teaching Hydroponics in the Bronx

High school students in the Bronx put their green fingers to work in practical lessons on how to set up and use a hydroponic system.

As part of the living environment curriculum for over 200 high schoolers at Bronx International High School the students designed and built the system prior to setting it up.

It has been successfully running since January 2018 and the class grew lettuce, peppers and basil indoors without soil.

Students wish to take this knowledge from the classroom into their everyday lives.

This is a great approach and a similar project that we helped to install at the University Academy of Engineering here in London shows that it can be set up in practically any living environment.
