Hydroponics Program
Learning. Creating. Thriving. Together
Hydroponics is a modern way of farming that uses water, nutrients, and light instead of soil to grow plants. This sustainable method saves space, conserves water, and produces fresh, healthy food all year round. From classrooms to communities, hydroponics inspires innovation, teaches science in action, and shows how we can grow more with less.
