LANCASTER – Elsie Robertson Lancaster Middle School STEM students dined on food they grew in the classroom at their Lettuce Harvesting Luncheon in March. The organic produce was grown using aquaponics; a skill that combines STEM disciplines – science, technology, engineering and math – and farming in order to raise fish and grow fresh produce without soil.

Surplus material from offices and events that would have gone to a landfill is being repurposed into much-needed classrooms materials, thanks to a new Fort Worth nonprofit.
