Packing the first Indoor Farming Innovation Zone (IFIZ) aquaponic kits for a NASA grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County. March 2021
NASA has awarded the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County a $175,000 grant. The money will allow up to 150 middle and high school-aged youth across Southern Colorado to study aquaponics in the coming year.
The project, in partnership with Pueblo-based non-profit The I Will Projects and its Indoor Farming Innovation Zone (IFIZ), will provide in-home kits that will grow edible plants and have live fish.
According to Becky Medina, vice president of operations at the clubs, this special funding from NASA is also geared toward reaching underserved young people in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, programs.
