Aquaponics is a method of growing plants hydroponically by using nutrient-rich water from aquaculture as the source of nutrients. The recirculating aquaculture system located within the greenhouse at the Steelton-Highspire School District (SHSD) will serve as a living laboratory where students will explore biology, plant propagation, water chemistry, engineering design, and agricultural technology opportunities. Family members are invited to join Friday for the culmination of the prototype build, a tour of the greenhouse given by the camp participants, and a tasting of food grown via aquaponics.
