Project Description
The purpose of this project is to introduce middle school students to aquaculture and environmental sustainability by growing tilapia in the classroom.This project will also serve a model for our peer schools and provide service opportunities regionally and possibly even globally. We will work directly with Jack Rodgers, who will provide us with adequate funding for the project, and Jonathan Howe, who will help us design an environmentally sustainable aquaculture system. The Tilapia aquaculture program will allow middle school students to learn about biology, ecology, environmental science, and even mathematics through hands-on project based learning activities.
