This authentic hands-on experience combined with the amazing digital tools such as AI, and Canva can help your school engage your students with a first hand look at how fresh produce is grown, and then aid them in researching and sharing their knowledge with their school and community. When you add hydroponics to your school, your curious students can experience hands-on amazing process of growing their own food from tiny little seeds. Students get the opportunity to learn and explore the structures and functions of different types of plants.
