The Greenhouse Project[REF] was created in 2008 to increase K - 8th grade students' interest and proficiency in STEM education while understanding the environmental issues of their time: global climate change, efficient use of water and energy, building greener cities, and growing a secure and healthy food supply [REF].
A greenhouse project classroom can be built as a traditional greenhouse or in a converted classroom to accommodate a hydroponic urban farm and environmental science laboratory.
