Terra Nova School of Science and Sustainability hasn't added a story.
Terra Nova School of Science and Sustainability is a science options school, where students from six Beaverton high schools learn applied Chemistry and Field Biology.
We work together to grow and cook organic food, practice self-sufficiency and promote sustainability. Our unique 1.5 acre farm, kitchen, and wood shop provide an ideal environment for students to educate themselves and their peers within a project based framework.
With this money, students will be able to apply the knowledge
they are gaining about aquaponics and build their own systems.
Aquaponics is the growing of crops in a nutrient-rich water produced
by fish. In groups of 3 or 4, students will design their own
system, build the system, and troubleshoot any problems that come
up. Their goal is to build and design a system that will maximize
food growth while minimizing costs and inputs into the system. From
this project they will learn about sustainability, alternative crop
growth methods, water use and conservation, ecosystem dynamics, and
much more. It is important they learn how an aquaponic system
represents an ecosystem. This can also be scaled up to teach them
how the earth is a giant ecosystem and has many dynamic parts.
We humbly ask for your help in funding this project. STEM, project-based learning is an extremely effective method of teaching students about a multitude of topics. This will prove to be an invaluable learning experience that will give them knowledge and expertise to further their education and obtain life skills for post high school.
We will need:
$500 for lumber
$300 for fish tanks
$150 for containers to grow the plants
$75 for fish
$100 for pvc piping
$200 for water pumps
We hope you will join us in creating this hands-on, learning experience!
This project is supported by the Beaverton Education Foundation.
Founded in 1988, the Beaverton Education Foundation raises money to provide hands-on innovative academic enrichment and advancement programs & projects that go beyond normal school funding at all Beaverton public schools and is a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit organization. BEF mobilizes community resources to fund innovative classroom, summer and after-school programs.
In the event that this project does not reach its goal, BEF may apply the funds received to another project in need.
