School Systems
Every school in the SITC program has a fully functioning Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). The first several schools in the program have purpose built systems designed for the classroom. To make installation and mobility easier, a cart-based RAS has been designed and is in use by several of our newer schools. Click through the different images to see the school's systems with detailed volume and components listed below.
