    The students designed and built an aquaponics system to sustain both fish and plants. They constructed a frame and one row for plants, but the system was leaky so they patched holes with foam. While it functioned, improvements are needed and they are still working on additional plant rows. The project was a learning experience in engineering design and problem solving.

    Aquaponics System

    Abstract Engineering Design Process Results/Conclusion


    We have a working frame and one row
    An aquaponics is an environment What type of system will allow to sustain both plant and animal life? for the plants. The design could
    created to sustain both fish and Ask definitely be improved. The
    plants. Plants require nitrogen in aquaponics system was very leaky, so
    order to thrive and fish produce We thought of an aquaponics system to solve our problem. we had to fill the holes with foam. We

    aquaponics system uses the and third rows to finalize the system.
    nitrogen produced by the fish to
    directly give it to the plants and
    Plan
    carries back the filtered water
    back to the fish. Also ingrained in
    this water is the oxygen that is
    reduced by the plants. Oxidized Create
    We welded the frame and cut the PVC into rows for the plants. Then we pieced the whole thing
    together.

    water is healthier for the fish and


    allows them to survive longer.
    STEAM
    We tested the aquaponics system and while it worked it was very leaky. Therefore we had find a
    way to patch up the leaks. We ended up settling with using foam.

    Future Steps & What we Learned


    for Next Time

    Throughout the building of


    the aquaponics we learned a
    lot the engineer/design
    process and how to problem
    solve the issues we came
    across.
