The maintenance, planting, and harvesting stages of any hydroponic operation are all wonderful learning opportunities that facilitate active and hands-on learning strategies. Students can escape their textbooks and instead learn valuable skills like teamwork, balancing pH values, vegetable growth cycles, harvesting techniques, and the scientific method. Many students will go their whole lives without working in a garden, learning scientific context, and exploring alternative career options beyond a desk. Hydroponic farming offers these students opportunities they might not otherwise receive. The result is a tool that allows students to feel ownership of their education and chance that students will take valuable lessons from their education.
