“I went to Charities Within Reach Foundation to build an aquaponics system, an alternative way to do plantations. Foundations often lack funding and most of the money goes to the children’s education. Therefore, I attempted to find a way to help out the foundation with science and technology. My goal was to provide the children with a convenient and unique way they could grow food for themselves. This project is important to me because I believe that there are ways science could be useful even in an environment that has disadvantage.”–Nina, Gr. 12
