For us, the hardest part of getting into hydroponics is the initial steps required. Whether it’s buying a water reservoir (could be a storage tote, mason jar, basin, bowl, etc.) or plant materials such as rockwool, clay pebbles, plant nutrients (containing ample amounts of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium for a specified plant) and figuring out the nutrient concentrations needed for healthy plant growth, the learning curve can become arduous.

Therefore, through these kits, K-12 students can learn how they can too make their own hydroponics systems– and how it works! As a student-driven nonprofit, our goal is to flatten the learning curve for many students by allowing them to hands-on build their own hydroponics system. Kits have been distributed to families in the Woodbury/Syosset district, and is planning to expand as more demonstrations locally (at libraries) are held.
