In order for the Hydroponics project to start, the blendED academy got a $1,000 grant from Hy-Vee to start building the system. To start out, they built a system for 30 heads of lettuce. They changed the system to 15 heads of lettuce, 15 strawberries, and 15 tomatoes. Currently they are working on a system to produce 200 heads of lettuce (or other greens). The old system has tomatoes and peppers. The student in charge of this project is Kade Nordman.
