Under the leadership of 3rd year student Zack Pennock, the SEHOW (Sustainable Energy Hands-On Workshop) Student Club partnered with Chartwell’s, a food services company, to design and build a campus hydroponics table that can grow high quality produce indoors without soil, while consuming fewer resources and taking up less space than traditional methods. The hydroponic table exhibit is an example of sustainable and responsible food production which can be scaled for residential use or commercial purposes.
