Mexico NY Field Trip


On Monday, April 7th 2014, the Ray Techponics Club went to go visit Mexico High School. We went to go visit Mexico, NY because they have a Hydroponic/Aquaponic system too! Their system is awesome! They are growing many things including corn and strawberries! They are also doing something called Aeroponics! Aeroponics is a kind of way to grow things. The plants do not grow in soil and they're roots are in mid-air. They're roots are misted all the time to help them grow. They are currently holding 20 tilapia. They are helping to bring back the Atlantic Salmon from extinction. One interesting fact about Mexico High School is that they hold a painting that is only in 2 places in the world. The White House and Mexico High School. Overall, it was a great trip and we look forward to many new opportunities to learn more about our hobby.
