Hydroponic GARDEN Design Project 

Hydroponics: Growing Innovation and Sustainability in the Classroom

In this project, our senior school students stepped into the world of hydroponic growing, exploring how plants can thrive without soil and how innovation can shape the future of sustainable food production. Through inquiry and hands-on experimentation, they learned the science behind hydroponics, its environmental and nutritional benefits, and the key components needed to build and maintain different types of systems.

Working in small teams, the students took on the challenge of designing and constructing their own mini hydroponic systems using up-cycled materials—a creative nod to environmental responsibility. Each group combined research, design thinking, and problem-solving to develop a unique system aimed at growing basil, green lettuce, and red lettuce.

From initial sketches to final harvests, students not only gained insight into sustainable agriculture but also strengthened their collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation skills. This project embodies how learning can go beyond the classroom—blending science, design, and sustainability to inspire young minds to reimagine the future of food and the planet.
