High school students have a hydroponic farm in a classroom in NYC

A class at a high school in Queens is part if a citywide program that teaches hydroponic farming to students with special needs. Special-needs students at Q721 public high school in Elmhurst, Queens, are learning all about hydroponic farming - right inside the classroom. The nonprofit New York Sun Works trained teachers and set up this farming program in nearly 200 schools throughout the five boroughs and in New Jersey. About 65,000 students K-12 are harvesting crops this school year. After growing the produce, the students will have another special culinary class. These young farmers will actually have the chance to cook and then sell their produce to students and staff in the building. A long-term goal is to harvest fish right at the school.
