We are looking for someone with horticulture/hydroponics experience to help out with an innovative new program of putting hydroponics systems in local public schools (in Las Vegas). These are schools that already have traditional raised bed vegetable gardens outside but would like to extend their teaching to hydroponics. What is needed is someone who has knowledge of hydroponics so that the prefabricated systems can be installed and then checked up upon on a regular basis. We run a small nonprofit with the largest school garden program in the nation. This is an opportunity to further horticulture/hydroponics' knowlege among local K-12 students, as well as to help futher their science, nutrition and knowledge of conservation.
