We sat down with Tim Slekar of the BustED Pencils podcast in February to explore how aquaponics meets the needs of today’s education. Beyond science, math, reading, and writing…our schools shape our collective human experience. Students eat up to 2 meals per day at school. They learn to socialize with all different types of people. They learn essential life skills. School offers so much more for our society than many people realize.
In this podcast, we discuss how aquaponics can be used to realize a new future for public education. One where schools provide not only excellent hands-on education, but a deeper understanding of how the natural world works, how to eat better, how to make money, how to work with others, and how to think in new ways. Join us for this exciting podcast and leave a comment with your thoughts.
