STEM Hydroponic Kits
--------------------

NY Sun Works' STEM Hydroponic Kits were created in response to the [COVID\-19 pandemic](/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic") as a way to enable students with Hydroponic Classrooms in their schools to continue learning in remote settings. Each kit consists of the materials and curriculum necessary to build passive hydroponic systems and grow a variety of crops. 

The kits can now be used for instruction both at home and in the classroom as a portable and affordable way to engage students in hands\-on [climate education](/wiki/Climate_change_education "Climate change education"). During the fall of 2020, more than 7,000 kits were distributed to students across NYC. Similarly, 5000 additional kits were distributed during the 2022\-23 school year, 600 of which were provided to schools in Queens District 29 through City Council Discretionary Funding.
