3DPonics Teams with Rhode Island STEM Center

While Rhode Island STEM Center and 3DPonics are on a mission to take students even further into the STEM curriculum with 3D printing—and using—hydroponics, the ultimate goal for 3DPonics is to put their simple growing systems into space. While the small systems here on earth require only a connector and three 2-liter bottles, the entire system can also be 3D printed, right down to the bottlestand and planter.

What do you think? Should such programs be introduced into every school? Have you ever downloaded and printed a 3DPonics system yourself? Let us know! Below is a picture of how the system works:
