Students will learn about different ways to garden in urban areas where space may be limited. This hands-on STEM project will teach our curious young gardeners about renewable energy and sustainable farming. They will be challenged to use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics when planning and implementing solutions to produce healthy food. Your generous donations to this project will enable my students to plan and construct a closed system vertical hydroponic garden. Club Green Thumb has maintained a raised be garden for 10 years. The space it occupies is significant. This project will not only introduce an alternative way to grow healthy produce, it will also show students how to utilize existing space when it is limited. Students will compare, contrast, and categorize vegetables grown from both a soil-based garden and a water-based garden. They will weigh, measure, and taste produce from both systems. They will be asked to draw conclusions about the data collected. Additionally, students will be asked to solve problems that may occur in both growing systems. They will implement their solutions and judge their effectiveness. This project will encourage children to use a more complex level of reasoning and critical thinking, giving them a deeper understanding of the information they gain.
