Eduardo, a leader in Pasadena City College’s Aquaponics Program, powers the aquaponic barrel system by bike.
Pedaling the bike Produces DC energy which then is converted into AC energy by an inverter, which is connected to the water pump that starts up the aquaponic system cycle.
A video overview of the Aquaponics Group’s 2-day build and installation. Watch as we build an aquaponics gardening system at the school. The system will use less water and produce more produce that will be sold through a social entrepreneurship to support St. James’ Episcopal Church’s soup kitchen and food pantry.
Have you ever operated a power tool? For the majority of the Aquaponics student leaders, the answer was no. However, that didn’t stop them. After a quick training on how to safely operate the tools, the students revved up and got to work. Slicing and dicing, the Aquaponics leaders had no problem getting comfortable and enjoying the tools’ speed and power.
The Aquaponics student leaders have been meeting weekly to research, discuss, and plan their first aquaponics system. With the guidance of Professor Catanese, the research on Aquaponics and how to build a successful system has been completely student-driven and self-taught.
What started as a technique to learn the scientific process, has bloomed into some great greenery outside of the Biology Studio in Science Village. Students from Biology 1A, examine their plants and record observations on their changes since they were originally planted. Learn more about the project at: The Growing Scientific Process.
