The Big Splash: Aquaponics Open House and Hydroponics Workshop

Attend an open house from 4 to 5 p.m. and learn about the recently completed aquaponics system where fish and hydroponic plants grow symbiotically. Eat tasty food, see the system in action, talk with the students who designed and built it, learn about the ways that faculty and staff are integrating aquaponics into their teaching and research, and celebrate this new addition to campus.

The open house will be followed by a workshop from 5 to 6:30 p.m., where attendees can build and bring home a small hydroponics system to grow food on your windowsill. Learn about ways to get involved with this and other campus sustainability initiatives!

Hosted by the Office of Sustainability Green Fund, Engineers for a Sustainable World, and Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences
