Program Highlights:
We received a STEM grant from Stevens Insitute to design and build a Hydroponic Garden system. It involved growing small edible plants from seed to full edible fruit bearing plants. In this process we also grew fish in a 50 gal tank using a closed system and exchaniging nutrients from plant to fish via a continuously running gravity feed siphoning system.
