Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our goal is to develop a working project- based learning with real- world problem solving, and produce high yield and output of the future of alternative farming- hydroponics. Urban Southern California has limited access to natural resources, and gardening and farming space, and schools are the best sources to open the possibility for communities to secure the means to grow their own food supply for a healthy living.

In this trade, we are trailing behind most of the world as they are already moving forward in promoting vertical indoor farming and educating citizens with its purpose and usage.

We are doing our part with our students in joining the cause for activism and advocacy for environmental issues that impact children's well- being.

We wholeheartedly promote educating the community about sustainability and healthy- living as they do impact the focus on academic success of our young students; with organic vegetables and proper nutrition for cognitive strength, our young population can thrive inside and outside of school.

This project will require students to dive into Botany, ecology, conservation, and healthy living with indoor farming as they plant and nurse seedlings into edible produce and later apply civic duty as they distribute them to nearby communities.
